Apologies in advance if this episode BENDS YOUR MIND, because we're talking about the uncertain realities of such books as Mona Awad's Bunny and All's Well, Michael Cisco's Black Brane, and Atilla Veres's The Black Maybe. Luckily we also tackle cozier fare like Seishi Yokomizo's The Honjin Murders, a self-aware locked room mystery from 1946 in which two people are stabbed to death.
