The Ink Black Heart re-read is drawing to a close, and I'm gearing up for the next in the series, Book #2: The Silkworm. Anyone who would rather listen than read should check out the series the The Strike and Ellacott Files Podcast are doing on this book right now. They are about halfway through, with Strike and Robin taking off for Devon in the last episode. I am particularly appreciating their look at the epigraphs, as they are teaching us a lot about the plays they came from, and how they thematically connect to the book. Fascinating stuff!
To be honest, I am looking forward to shorter posts for this much shorter book!
