"A very different read from my usual, though still essentially a murder mystery, this is very much a cynical and satirical look into the inner workings of colleges in the United States.
When an important professor is found murdered, Clarence Van Dyke, " Read more of this review » |

"Whoa!! A different read indeed. A murder of an eminent professor caused a furore and left everyone in a tizzy, cops were called and investigation began. Professor Van Dyke decided to give a helping hand to them, especially to Detective Siobhan Reardo"

| This collection of stories is shot through with a gothic ambience of darkness, disease and madness in the clinical sense. From its opening story death is always close by, reading to lay a cold hand on someone's neck. The tales seldom wander far from ...more | |

“Symptom Recital
I do not like my state of mind;
I'm bitter, querulous, unkind.
I hate my legs, I hate my hands,
I do not yearn for lovelier lands.
I dread the dawn's recurrent light;
I hate to go to bed at night.
I snoot at simple, earnest folk.
I cannot take the gentlest joke.
I find no peace in paint or type.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted.
For what I think, I'd be arrested.
I am not sick, I am not well.
My quondam dreams are shot to hell.
My soul is crushed, my spirit sore;
I do not like me any more.
I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse.
I ponder on the narrow house.
I shudder at the thought of men....
I'm due to fall in love again.”
