It’s got an entertaining mix, with strong entries by Thomas F. Monteleone, Richard Grove & Lisa Morton, Ray Garton, Tom Piccirilli, Brian Hodge, T.M. Wright, Gary A. Braunbeck, Mick Garris, Gerard Houarner, and Jack Ketchum.

I've been meaning to get over the the exhibit before it closes in early January and did so today. It was expensive: $18.50 and you were supposed to pay "what you wish" for the general entrance fee--I paid $1, mostly because I was so outraged at the price for the special exhibit.

Anyway, it was all worth it. We were a bit early for our scheduled time so stopped in the dinosaur hall, somewhere I hadn't been for a few years. I love being able to actually touch a dinosaur bone (some were there for touching) and to see the beasts close up. There are also some Charles Knight paintings and sketches among the big guys.

The Mythic creatures exhibit was very cool. Crowded because it was Sunday and Thanksgiving weekend at that. One of my companions at the show complained that the Jersey Devil wasn't there and that the Yeti was given short shrift. I just remembered that they didn't have Medusa (although they mentioned her in describing Pegasus's feats. I'm sure there were other missing creatures but it was still a fine exhibit. There was even a "feejee mermaid" looking a bit ratty. And some short films on dragons (western and asian).

Next museum exhibit I want to attend is the Kara Walker at the Whitney, on until early February.
