Stephen Crane's short story still baffles me
From Wikipedia: " "The Blue Hotel" is a short story by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). It first appeared in 1898 in two installments in Collier's Weekly, on November 26 and on December 3, 1898. It subsequently was republished in the collection The Monster and Other Stories. It is one of the most well known of the short stories in the collection The Monsters and Other Stories. Although it appears to be a reasonably simple tale about a man who encounters trouble following a stay at the Palace Hotel, several complex themes underpin the story and define many of the overarching themes in novels like Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and more generally, Crane's corpus. Stylistically, the story breaks free from the norms of the period, often entering the realms of Expressionism, an unusual style to encounter in American literature. "

The Last Lumenian
The Last Lumenian is a wonderfully written fantasy series that leans heavily into political fiction as well as turning normal tropes on their heads. S.G. Blaise is a prolific author that has already released 4 books in this series and we are supposed to be getting a special announcement at San Diego Comic Con this year. So naturally I read all four books over the span of two weeks so that I can be properly excited for this new announcement. The first book in the series accomplishes many things and we will be doing this both with and without spoilers.
