My latest read: "One Day All This Will Be Yours" by Adrian Tchaikovsky - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy time-travel stories, or even if you don't, this one's worth a look!

Deeply disappointed to learn "dark academia" stands for combat training and high school feuds, instead of using forbidden magic to convert your citations into a more arcane format to avoid being cursed by your professor, or finding out Reviewer No. 2 is actually an eldritch being hiding in the basement.

4.25/5 at The Storygraph for "City of Sin and Splendour:Writings on Lahore". A fascinating & challenging collection of memoirs, histories, poems and short fiction. Of the latter, my two favourites were at the end, "Air Conditioning" by Mohsin Hamid and "The Old Mansion" by Ikramullah Chaudry.
It was also fun to learn that landmarks and at least one thoroughfare in Lahore were, once upon a time, named after a distant relative who served as Viceroy of India.

Wisconsin Gothic
Urban fantasy/queer historical romance for once and future academics who enjoy a good Shakespeare joke and wish magic was real.

The picture has the covers of the four books with a colorful squiggle connecting them.

Book 1: Dionysus in Wisconsin, by E. H. Lupton
The cover is black figure art of two men, one seated and dressed as Dionysus, one standing, wearing jeans and a leather jacket.

Book 2: Old Time Religion by E H Lupton. Done in Greek red figure style, two men are standing side by side, one dressed as Dionysus supporting one shirtless in jeans, holding an athame.

Book 3: Troth, by EH Lupton. An arrow picture with these words and arrows pointing to the book: spiders; cohabitation; unruly ghosts; petty theft; peace and love.
The cover is two men, one dressed as Dionysus, one in a leather jacket and jeans, both facing left. A spider is descending from the top and Dionysus is pointing at it.

Book 4: Lazarus, Home from the War, by E. H. Lupton. A vaguely Greek red-figure cover. Laz reclines on one elbow, extending a hand and a come-hither look to Eli. Eli is skeptical and not come-hithering at the moment.

75% off in July at Smashwords
