Half Price Engines Beneath Us and You Will Grow Into Them and other Influx goodies. And a very tangential excuse to repost this picture of my son's Halloween Lego house even though neither it nor the books have anything to do with Black Friday.

Then there was Local Haunts, collected non-fiction by the always thought-provoking Adam Scovell also from @influxpress.bsky.social
