Our cat Charles, aka Professor Charles Cardigan, practicing mindfulness on a 1970s camping chair

Professor Charles Cardigan could not be more glad that I bought him this old camping chair for £4 as it provides a convenient and comfortable place to sit and practice transcendental meditation in the pissing rain after nonchalantly eviscerating his morning vole.

Complete Stories of Edgar Allan Poe

The Cask of Amontillado-

This may be my favorite short story by Poe. I first read it in my 8th grade Accelerated English class. I noticed this morning that many books from that class became life-long favorites. This story gives me goosebumps!

A Tale of Two Toadstools

A Pristine Toadstool Above is the most pristine fly agaric toadstool that I've ever photographed. The perfection of it caused two people on social media to ask if it was an AI image. No. Never from me. Not in writing, editing, covers, pictures or toadstools. Why do you…
