"Blue Murder", a beautifully written #ClassicCrime story by the forgotten author, Wilbur Daniel Steele. Tony Hillerman picked it as one of the "Best American Mystery Stories of the [Twentieth] Century", in his anthology of the same name. multoghost.wordpress.com/202… #CrimeFiction

A suspenseful hand of glory tale multiple ways: the folk version(s) from the late 1800's, the more elaborate version read by Vincent Price, and a folk legend variant from Mexico. Read (or listen) to them all!! darktalessleuth.wordpress.co… #supernatural #folklore

I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office. I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.
