14. Infinite Delays, or How I Can’t Come Up With Titles
I’ve delayed so much on this that when I initially started this post, I had exams. When I started writing it again, those exams had finished. Now that I’m finishing it, exams are around the corner once more. Fun! In any case… Not much preamble, same stuff as before, what did I read in the Continue reading

13. (In)Consistency, or How I Learned to Write Again
This post was meant to be written at the start of May. To the surprise of nobody, least of all myself, that did not happen. Surprise! More than one post this year. I was shocked myself, personally. Once again, I go through the books which I’ve read the last two months (update, since changed to Continue reading

12. Retrospective, or What Have I Done For A Year? Read, Read, and Read. With Thoughts on January and February.
Time for one of my yearly blog posts. In this one, I’ll just dump my thoughts on every single mystery book that I’ve read so far this year. I read a bunch in 2023 as well, and I do also want to discuss my thoughts on those books, but all in due time. Some books Continue reading

11. Vampires, or I’m Too Dumb For This
You should read DWaM’s An Odyssey to the Castle of Vampires. That should, theoretically, be enough. Because this is something that you should read if you enjoy mysteries in any way shape or form. You’re getting the most enjoyment if you read it going in completely, fully, blind. This story is built to shock, amaze, Continue reading

10. Celebration, or I Don’t Post Anything Ever
Well, about ~7 months later, here I am, writing something again. This isn’t gonna be anything deep, just a egotistical congratulations for something for myself. Maybe I’ll actually write regularly after this. Who knows? Anyways, for those of you who read the previous blog post (like three people, but three more than I expected), at Continue reading

9. The Fish From The Grave, or Messages From The Dead
Picture this. Rich landowner, Geoffrey Chandler III, is murdered, inside a locked room, guarded by four servants, all trustworthy, and with impeachable character. The killer seemingly teleports from between the door to inside the room, walking through to the end of a hallway, before seemingly disappearing, then having their silhouette appear inside, from where a Continue reading

8. Untranslated Fiction, or ‘Les Douze crimes d’Hercule’
Ignore the weirdly aligned image, I can’t figure out how to centre it. But yes, this is my next topic to write on. Les Douze Crimes D’Hercule. Or in English, “The Twelve Crimes of Hercules”. This novel is interesting for being one of the two Owen Burns novels that are not, as far as I Continue reading

7. Completion of A Dream, Or ‘The Innocence Of Father Brown’ (Part 2)
Well, instead of repeated reviews, this time around, I’m going to knock off four more stories in this one post. This should be fun, nice and easy. I’ve already reviewed the first two stories in this collection, in an earlier post. There’s no time like the present, so, let’s start with the disclaimers. First, any Continue reading

6. ‘The Silver Eye’, or Repeated Hiatuses
Well. It’s been another two weeks, but I’m finally back! Done with writer’s block, and all that. Last time, there was some fun A.I. generated rules for fair-play mysteries, but before that, it was Q.E.D., by Motohiro Katou. I realise that in my last blog post about Q.E.D., I failed to give a basic summary Continue reading

5. On A.I. and How I’m Very Bored With Things
So, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted, hasn’t it? Haven’t been doing much, that’s for sure. Well, I just wanted to get the good old creative juices flowing, so I wanted to do something of importance. Recently, I’ve been very interested in A.I., or Artificial Intelligence. Particularly the ones that generate things. So, Continue reading
