A scowling old man. Text: I am an old man, and most people hate me. But, I don’t like them either so that makes it all even.

I’m not much of a James Bond fan, but I figure I should get a Bond villain in the mix, and this one epitomizes the over the top nonsense of the series.

A yellow paperback book cover Sax Rohmer: The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. In a central circle is an illustration of a terrified man beset by a giant spider, a foggy London, a concerned couple, and a portrait of a menacing man. You can cringe at the racist tropes, but Fu Manchu is always classy and a worthy foe.

Ash bolted out of bed when a knock echoed through the apartment. The rapid tap tap tap repeated before he could sprint to check the door. Tenya wasn’t due back, and even if she was, she could let herself in with their lunch in tow. His neighbors rarely, if ever, came to his apartment door, and all of them would likely be at work, regardless. He approached the door with wary caution, keeping his footsteps light across the hardwood floor. The visitor shuffled their feet in the hallway outside, shoes squeaking against the floor. Ash leaned in to peer through the peephole, blinking when he only met darkness instead of the warped image of the hall. His shoulders tensed. He checked that his gun sat on his dining table with a furtive glance. This is weird.

Every time I post above Delve, I try to come up with new ad copy.

I’m not sure it’s worth the effort or if anyone even notices.

Maybe a simple, repeatable line would be better?

Delve Post 80!

Step away from the real world. Enter a fantasy that entangles you. Twists your thoughts with mystery. Magic that binds you. Monsters that wait in the dark.

Escape? That word will lose its meaning.

You will go deeper.
Delve.

"Oh, spare me the theatre," she sighed, batting his hand away. "It's just the presentation stressing you, Kru. Your big discovery. I can hardly wait."

Kru's mind went cold. A knot of ice formed in his stomach. "Presentation? What day is this?"

"Have you forgotten?" her voice sharp with disbelief.

The way traditional African and western storytelling meet thru inter generational trauma makes this a very special story. A case of a specific family’s story reflecting international trauma. 4/5🌟

This one features Tim Robey, whose hugely enjoyable book BOX OFFICE POISON is a favourite.

Anyway, the whole series seems well worth checking out. Possibly the closest thing to #Backlisted I’ve discovered, but for classic films. #FilmSky #BookkSky 💙📚
