I haven’t yet read anything from Brandon Graham [note: not entirely work-safe], but based on this essay (and the page referenced therein), I think that’s something I’ll need to change.
The story concerns a young King City spy and lockpick named Joe, who’s just gotten back into town from completing his training as a Cat Master. As everyone knows, cats can adopt different attributes — drill, parachute, fire-breather — when injected with Cat Juice, and a skilled Cat Master can thereby accomplish a lot for himself.
Awesome.
Also, why I own none of the Meathaus anthologies when I’m fond of many of the the creators involved baffles me.
