I'm trying to read This Is How You Lose The Time War, but I'm struggling to understand what is going on, and I'm not sure if it gets better. It feels like a dense read. I heard so much about it, but perhaps I'm too impatient?

@KateOfMind @strathearnrose @bookstodon Just read how it got attention and it seems to be from a single influencer.... But well, I hear they are developing a TV series out of it. That might actually work better since with TV they have to emphasize the visual elements and this might help with getting into the story. I failed to get a sense of place which is one reason I couldn't get into the story.

Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!

@bookstodon @blackmastodon

Book cover of an anthology, gothic designs, black and pale gold colours with Gothic Fantasy embossed on the top and bottom of the cover. Gothic on top, Fantasy in the bottom. In thr middle in glowing greenish text is the title of the book, "African Ghost", and below that "short stories". The title is in a black frame that makes it distinct from the gold and black of the cover.
