Thanks, Gabino! ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines an exploration with the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother and her death. It’s fragmented and experimental, and the reader is asked to make connections as they read.

He played his college ball at East Carolina, where Heidi and I taught a long time ago. Cool to see.

Thanks for another #FridayReads, Gabino!
Anyone up for a paranormal mystery set in and under 1880s Halifax, Nova Scotia?

Check out the book Craig DiLouie(!) called "a powerful Victorian adventure, rich in detail and set in a fully realized world ... A stunning debut!"

LINK: books2read.com/u/490zOw
Cover art for The Nightshade Cabal by Chris Patrick Carolan. Image shows a mail figured dressed in black, with his back to the viewer. A Victorian city scene in the background is shrouded in mist. Caption reads "Only the dead know the secrets of the Cabal..." A Crime Writers of Canada 2021 Awards of Excellence Finalist badge has been added. The first page of The Nightshade Cabal. Text Reads: HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 1881 "I’m telling you, Jonathon, these so-called stage magicians are nothing more than charlatans and hucksters of the highest order.” Isaac Barrow said, raising his voice to be heard over the din of the crowded Theatre Royale. "The act is nothing but mirrors and wires and other trickery making you think you've seen something you haven’t.” Inspector Jonathon Eddings chuckled heartily, shaking his head. "And I keep telling you, Barrow, being fooled is the whole point of the bloody show!” Fifteen years in Halifax had done little to blunt the edge of his thick Mancunian brogue. His friend’s retort failed to quell Barrow's annoyance. The inspector's invitation had had all the cordiality of a press gang. Eddings had bought the tickets to thank Barrow for his help with a recent investigation. He hadn’t skimped, either; they sat just three rows back of the orchestra pit. The notion of putting down hard-earned coin with the express intention of being hoodwinked by some sham of a magician struck Barrow as inordinately foolish. He knew of the occult and the dangers of flirting with its deadly secrets. Real magic being his stock-in-trade, he considered the pretend variety, popular on stage, mildly offensive at best. It was only on his friend's repeated insistence that he had finally, against his own better judgement, agreed to attend the performance.
