On unreliable narrators and alternative worlds

Normally at this stage of the year, I’d

Roll up, roll up for the Mystery & Thriller Book Fair!

Who doesn’t love the fair? Candy floss, sweets, fast food, fast rides… Hmm, that could lead to trouble. On second thoughts, I think I might stay home with a book. That’s what’s great about this fair!
