Granted, I may not be able to *prove* that reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula in a dimly-lit café in Prague on a rainy day whilst having cappuccinos and croissants exponentially improves mental well-being, but you're failing to acknowledge a very important point: You can't prove that it *doesn't*.

This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

At least 7.3% of the time, when I'm backing up in a car, I think about how vampires must get hit that way all the time. Mirrors and vampires being such poor bedfellows and all that.

God I love Shakespeare's insults--the utter fluency of them, the playfulness and flights of wit. How does he even think of putting some those words together? I like to imagine his friends all sitting around trading insults the way most people talk about the weather.

So grateful that this sapphic, supernatural, gaslamp mystery series found its readers <3. To celebrate Wayward Souls coming out next week, I wanted take a moment to appreciate a few of the marvelous things these amazing authors said about the first Harker & Moriarty book--Strange Beasts.
