Dead City Blues: On Air / Dead Air
A voice built for the stage.
A city that only half-listens.
A thing in the wires that wants to be heard.
She remembers the song.
And the city finally listens.

#TimeTravelingGhost EP 8: Post 88: 2025 Arkham

#Wss366 Set #MastoPrompt Palm #TimeTravelAuthors 04/3. What kind of coffee/caffeinated beverage do your characters like?

“Want a sip of my coffee and see what it’s like? French Roast with chicory,” I asked, while thinking about the new mystery. “That is, if you don’t mind that I’ve already drunk some.”

“I don’t mind a secondary kiss,” Emily replied.

I began passing my cup to her, then stopped. “Secondary kiss? That’s a weeb term.”

I laughed, embarrassed. “Forget it. You wouldn’t know what a weeb is.”

“Weeb? It’s like being a Japanophile or an Orientalist, only interested in anime and manga. Wait! I shouldn’t know any of that! None of that stuff existed when I was alive!”

“We’re being absorbed into this time-particle, aren’t we?” I asked.

She nodded, took a thoughtful sip of my coffee, and #set it down, grimacing: “Bitter!”

“So, what do you think?”

“I think you're right about being absorbed. The coffee? I prefer the one you bought me, mellower or tea. I got a taste for it while I was in China.”

“Let’s get those letters and move on before we forget what we are doing.”

Emily held up her #palm in a halt gesture. “Let’s finish the cake first. It’s good.”

Cruel Noblesse: Melodie der Rache von Greta Milán – Rezension

Paris, Magie, Adel und eine Geschichte, die nach Rache schreit. Ehrlich gesagt hatte mich dieses Buch schon, bevor ich überhaupt die erste Seite gelesen habe. „Cruel Noblesse: Melodie der Rache“ von Greta Milán ist mir zuerst auf der Leipziger Buchmesse ins Auge gefallen. Am Stand des Penguin Verlags stand ich schon kurz davor, es mitzunehmen. Am Ende kam es dann als Rezensionsexemplar vom Bloggerportal zu mir. Manchmal finden Bücher eben doch ihren Weg 😉. Inhalt Blaues Blut, […]

In today's update of "String", an urban fantasy webcomic, these goggles belong to anyone?

String - Chapter 8 - Page 080

A moment passes, the rain descends, and an ownerless pair of smashed goggles clatters on the tiles in Buchanan Street.

"It's like Twin Peaks had a baby with Once Upon a Time."

"The characters are both subtly human and bold rock-opera caricatures and why do they both work—"

"Long, complex with a lyrical rhythm to it that's intoxicating."

"It's serial fiction done right."

The timing of the death of Gloria Creena could not have been any worse. Not only did the death of the woman responsible for the 1994 Crisis interrupt an important Agency Division investigation into a leaked copy of the Pnakotic Manuscripts, but the National Police Force refuse to let the case out of their teeth. Now, Agency's Man In Black enforcer, Vidcund Därk, must conspire against a rising star homicide detective, Niles Clayton, to both solve the crime and keep Clayton in the dark as to its true nature.

After all, we can't have an important state secret like the existence of magic leak out, now, can we?
