Jackalope Wives, by Ursula Vernon
Jackalope Wives is the first pure fantasy story nominee for the Nebula that I have read this year. It's a little standard, featuring attractive nubile mythical beasties (the jackalope wives) and brooding young men (Twilight) and wise old grandmas (ubiquitous). But it's well done and fun to read, so I say have at it. 3 stars.
