Good morning from the PNW did you know Fitz has an adoptive aunt and uncle?

A woman saying "Bill Pembernathy is a dumb slut and if he thinks i'm going to get killed for his cursed hellspawn he can kiss my ass". The next panel shows the woman holding a young purple half-demon and saying "I've only had Fitzwilliam for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this town and then myself."

Good evening #cozyfantasy its spooky season but even monsters can prefer treats over tricks. Dr. Fitz Pembernathy much prefers to be reading by a warm fire on a moonlit eve...too bad he's got necromancy to practice 💀🔥 What are your favorite cozy spooky-time reads?
