This week's read is a reread of The Delirium Brief by @cstross.bsky.social.
I don't think I'm going to have time for a full catch-up before The Regicide Report on the 27th, but I'm going to have a go!

Aaah my brain went Kano - Bad Company - Danny Franks - and then dumped in the word 'return' and I remembered Malcolm coming back as a war zombie!

First read of the year is The Night Guest by @hildur.bsky.social.
A wonderfully written short tale. it's hauntingly weird, and I really enjoyed it.
