"Remember who you are speaking to. I am the sorcerer Merulo, who has defeated armies, held kingdoms at bay, and ... oh, f*** it." Perhaps it was my polite nodding along, but his outthrust chest had deflated, his posture drooping. "Just get on with it." —Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die, Stothers

disco elysium does a good job of filtering out the 'alpine witch' cozy crowd by showing us, before anything else, a mostly nude bloated alcoholic man groaning to himself on the floor. and also you have to be him, and also if you do a bad job of grabbing your necktie off the ceiling fan then your heart gives out and you get a game over. like it's such a beautiful and intelligent game, but I wonder if part of the universal praise it gets is from that highly vocal section of the populace getting yucked out at the start. or maybe I'm just stupid and overthinking things

this is why Dream Daddy got cancelled for having a canned halloween plotline, while in Disco Elysium you get to walk around in a jacket with piss f*ggot sprayed on the back and everyone loves it (rightfully, it's a really good jacket)

Some others on my radar: *A Curse Carved in Ink by Tzeyi Koay *The Haunting of Lady Death by Maddie Martinez *Eclipse & the Wolf by Akwaeke Emezi *The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo by Greer Stothers *Melting the Ice Queen by Stephanie Burgis *Daughters of Salt and Ruin by Rebecca Sky

"Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die" by @pangur-and-grim / @greerstothers.bsky.social was so good I fell in a creek, while reading, because I wasn't paying attention while crossing said creek. I was simply too invested in the hilarious gay disaster unfolding on the pages before me.

This book is not waterproof, nor even water resistant. This is of course completely normal for books.

Today I am obsessesing over the covers of E. R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros" and later Zimiamvian Trilogy illustrated by native midwesterner Barbara Remington. Just an absolutely phenomenal house style for Ballantine Books.
