The Lost Room

3 March 2008

The Lost Room played on TV today. We hadn’t heard about it and knew nothing about it other than what little was said on the Internet site for that TV station, but since the premise looked interesting enough, we watched. And boy, were we glad that we did.

“Wolfling” by Gordon R. Dickson

16 January 2004

First published 1968. 157 pages, which gives a publisher’s word count of 39,250 words.
