bailedWelp, I seem to be in my DNF‘ing era. I‘d say this is a reading slump if I wasn‘t actually enjoying everything but my Spooktober pics.
This wasn‘t Anno Dracula. It was a mishmash of short stories, the first two which were so beyond boring. I then looked up a summary and realized that none of these are worth it, and the one Anno Dracula story is an excerpt of the next book.
Disappointed.

pickRereading some GNs to decide whether to keep or release.
Gotham by Gaslight is an Elseworlds story before Elseworlds was a thing. It's 1889, and Bruce Wayne returns from a European sojourn where he has honed his skills with Sherlock Holmes (a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference) & Sigmund Freud.
Jack the Ripper is terrifying Gotham, and the newly arrived Batman is out to stop him, while his alter ego is suspected as the killer. Mignola's art is ⬇️
so-soKind of a strange mix. Batman lore has enough inherent darkness, I figured going back to the 19th century would have been enough for the vibes without including a rewrite of Jack the Ripper, but it certainly works as a vigilante vs evil foil. The exhibition/man of tomorrow story felt high on melodrama and low on plot, though I appreciate a story that ends with a significant other sticking around after the Batman alterego discovery. 1/?
Digging the vintage aesthetic.
Damsel in Distress ™: I know I often find myself incidentally striking sultry poses while lamenting imminent crisis. 🤨
Men are very finite in the interest they take in things, and if a fellow creature were to rise from his grave to-morrow, he would be speedily forgotten, and have to resort to the variety stage if he wanted to make resurrection pay.
pickSo great to be back in the Veronica Speedwell universe. This one sees a return of a villain thought dead and a surprise villain working together to use Veronica in a power-hungry scheme for control of the empire. Veronica meets her half-brother, is kidnapped, helps to arrange a tortoise wedding and she and Stoker continue their mating dance. Humor and hijinks abound as I continue to fall more and more in love with this series. 5/5⭐️
