I’ll finish up the second part of the West Berlin post soon.
Until then, if you are a history buff, I encourage you to check out The Autodidact Professor’s website. The website covers many topics logically grouped into the Ancient Kings: Builders of Civilization, Chronicles of the Crown, Roman Emperors, Turning Points, and Cultures and Civilizations.
My second recommendation is to check out Pulphouse magazine. Pick up a copy, and if you like, it subscribe to it. I just finished a six-month subscription and renewed for another year. Pulphouse is one of the few magazines I’ll read cover to cover. Issue #37 showed up tonight and the title of the first story is “The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo” a very fun read. Pulphouse is not genre specific, you will never know which genres will show up in the latest issue, you will only know they are quality short stories.
In the Shade of the Slowboat Man is my pick for this week’s short story. Nominated for a Nebula in 1997. A quick read. The Amazon description summarizes the story giving nothing away. “For a vampire, saying goodbye to your mortal lover can be the hardest thing you ever have to do.”
Happy Reading!
