Continuing the continuance...
- Creepshow v1.
- NYer 9/25/23. Fashion issue
- Ninefox Gambit. I'm thinking about this in relation to Gideon the Ninth (science-fantasy set up), A Memory Called Empire, and to a lesser extent Ancillary Justice.
- The Abominable Man which is another Martin Beck. The AbMan is a cop, and one of the comic relief cops is killed by a rooftop sniper! Uncool!
- The Locked Room which is yet another Martin Beck. Martin solves a crime, but the criminal is sent up for another one, which he did not commit.
- NYer 10/9/23. Hanif Abdurraquib makes his debut (maybe) as pop music critic, as does Jackson Arn (maybe again) in art
- Halloween Party Poirot investigates a child murder with the help of author stand-in Ariadne Oliver. Some creepy filligree around the complicated plot.
- NYer 9/11/23. George Eliot lived in sin.
- Tomb of Dracula. Gene Colan and diverse hands. The first half is the color comic, while the second is the first part of the Dracula Lives magazine run.
- The Fugitive. Marcel Proust.
- NYer 10/16/23. McPhee on Bill Bradley. He shredded the Persian carpet with nervous energy while working on his thesis.
- The Writer's Library by Nancy Pearl and Jeff Schwager. I like reading what writers have to say about reading. I do so enough that it takes away from my reader.
- NYer 10/30/23. 4 in, 5 out. Profile on Jim Jordan. Review essay on Bill Waterson.
A disappointing month, but ended with an auspicious number and I did watch 31 horror movies, so...
