Another week, another group of links. Do enjoy.
"The Berg" by Richard Smyth, as recommended by Jamie Delano. Sort of science fiction about the past that's really about the now. A short and biting read.

French death-house, okay, maybe not. But it's worth a spin.
I'm considering getting back to talking about writing and such here, other than the general housekeeping stuff I've been doing. I'd like to get a few more weeks packed away before doing that. And, believe it or not, I've got plenty of things that I want to talk about in long form that just don't sit well on Twitter. But that's kind of a hard sell these days. I mean, I don't have a Patreon or Medium account to turn these clicks into something. I just have thoughts, kinda like I did back in 2003 when I crawled back online.
