Delightful, as always. I love Johannes and everything I can possibly learn about him.

A fun and clever little Johannes Cabal short story. To go into detail would I think spoil the experience of reading The Death of Me, so I won't. But Jonathan L. Howard deserves a lot of credit for playing with the reader's expectations, then playing with the playing, then playing with the playing of that playing, and so on. Not very long or involved, but it's an entertaining ride and a nice little bit of insight into our favorite necromancer of some little infamy, with a nice splash of Emily Dickinson for good measure.

The only disappointing thing about Howard's short stories is that they're short. I want to read more about Cabal's interactions with faeries and how he goes about pissing off the entire race of beings. That said, I think this is probably my favorite Cabal short.

Not a bad short story to add to the Johannes Cabal series, but a bit thinner on the ground that many of the other stories - even the other short stories.
It's probably more a 2.5, overall, but I really liked the Holmes reference at the end -.
