Two Envelopes And A Phone’s Reviews > Tales of the Tattooed: An Anthology of Ink > Status Update

I'm reading 'The Tattooed Eye' by Arthur P. Hankins at this point, and it's 75 pages, so I think of it as a novella. I've just come from two short novels starring the pulp hero The Shadow, and this is actually very similar; Tyler Lake has unwittingly fallen into what seems like a harrowing Shadow adventure. I also keep ending up in San Francisco - Puzzle for Puppets, The Shadow, and this - and that's fine with me!

‘A Marked Man’, by W. W. Jacobs, was very entertaining.

I would likely never get a tattoo. It is sort of against my whole philosophy of life. I love change, impermanence, transition, and metamorphosis. I love that things come and go, are wiped away by something new. Even ephemera, nothing written in stone - the next time you see something, or experience something, it is different. Things change. Tattoos are not that. But they can be beautiful. But, locked in, let’s say.
