Reading Finished An Unexplained Death by Mikita Brottman. I intended to review it on Friday, but honestly, I’m still developing my taste in crime fiction.

Reading Finished In the Garden of Beasts yesterday. I’ll probably post on it later this week.

The Black Cat, No. 14, November 1896
Welcome to the 14th issue of The Black Cat and the Black Cat Project! There is a gap in my Black Cat reckoning. I did read issue 13, but I never blogged about it. The stories were not good and, after a year of working on the project, I needed a break. But I’ve missed …
