My assistant is mad. I had to listen to him b*tch and moan all last week. Not because of you, dear reader. Oh no. But because he made the absolute mistake of going to look at Substackās Top in Fiction. He wanted to know just how bad their algorithm is. I warned him. I told him it would only give him an ulcer. But did he listen to me? Oh no! He didnāt. And what do you think happened? Not to worry, here at Top in Fiction we have excellent medical coverage. Iām sure his ulcer will clear up in no time.
But enough about the hired help! What did you all think of last weekās Top in Fiction? I must confess, if āthat which shall not be mentioned by us ever againā were to have their list look like ours, we would not be here! But, cāest la vie! In the meantime, I am thankful and grateful for all of your continued support with amazing stories and new discoveries that I now get to make every week and present to you. So, without further ado, enjoy these beauties!
