Whatever Kills the Pain by CW Blackwell

Easing into the weekend right with popcorn and @cwblackwell.bsky.social

A better noir storyteller than C.W. Blackwell? Hmm. Only if you count folks who are six feet underground and no longer receiving royalty checks.

His best work has been bundled into one handsome volume, out today. Buy it. You won’t be sorry. Pubbed by @rhppress.bsky.social. @cwblackwell.bsky.social

Excuse me, I’ll be watching my mailbox all goddam day

@cwblackwell.bsky.social is so so good and I cannot wait to get my hands on this. Insanely shocked I get to be pub siblings with him.

Tricks of Fortune: A Murder Mystery with a Tarot Twist Author Lina Chern joins us on The Morning Blend to discuss her latest book and special appearance at Boswell Books.
