A town laden with mystery
and cursed by dark history
appears peaceful by day
until the cursed ones play
with the inhabitants' lives
like bears attacking bee hives.
Why do I love my #Kobo? Not just because I can read 1-handed, though that's critical. When I am on holiday far from home with long passages of passenger travel ahead, I have a diverse library at my fingertips, as my "currently reading" list @thestorygraph shows
Regency Romance, Golden Age style locked room mystery, indigenous Māori/Pasifika shorts, physics popsci and however one categorises @scalzi 😁#AmReading#ebooks@bookstodon#Aotearoa#Mystery#ScienceFiction#Science#Romance
Crossing Raukawa Moana next week to visit Te Wai Pounamu. Lots of reading time, so loading up on a theme. Cats are evil mass murderers, so @scalzi s Starter Villain & Tom Mead's Murder Wheel are both apt, and the unique ancient fauna of #Aotearoa needs to be saved from them, so KPS also fits.
There's a problem with "Starter Villain" though. How could anyone claim that the idea of cats as macchiavellian murderous managers is FICTION? 🤔 #ebooks#sf#mystery#AmReading@bookstodon
I open the guest room door
as violent winds pummel the inn.
Lightning illuminates the blood
dripping onto the floor.
I shiver in fear.
Who else is here?
Are the Penobscot Indians friends or foes?
If enemies, Elizabeth doesn't want it to be so.
But would she rather have enemies within her friends?
I don't believe so.

Angeblich sieht man bei Amazon keine Flut an KI-generierten #EBooks. Trotzdem führt der #Onlinehändler ein tägliches Publikationslimit beim Self-Publishing ein."
