About the book: 2005 / Laibling himself says about the story "Terracotta Boy": “I was inspired by a girl who was stopping my daughters and I from playing mini-golf in resort town in upstate New York. As it turns out, the owner of the miniature golf course is the girl's father, and she spends her days harassing visitors." In "Terracotta Boy," inspired by this meeting, it is shown that with miniature golf you can do what George R.R. Martin did with cheese shavings at Pear Man. Written with amazing emotion, the story is both exciting and chilling. First published in the winter issue of the Canadian magazine On Spec».
