Lynn Cherny Mar 30 ∙ Preview   READ IN APP   Cover art for The Charwoman’s Shadow, by Gervasio Gallardo (1973) (source) Before jumping in on the recs details, a couple pointers to some good reading or listening about writing that I enjoyed recently: the Weird Studies episode on John Crowley’s Little Big, with Erik Davis (I made a transcript doc testing Gemini 2.5 Pro exp here), Lincoln Michel’s post on fiction books featuring writers (some great recs in here), which is also a bump for his new book.
