Some ghosts refuse to stay buried.
Fresh from the cursed hollows of Possum Creek, Special Agent Amaya Lombard is yanked back to the one place she swore she’d never return: Nesika House, the coastal coven that once cost her everything. When the high priestess who nearly destroyed her demands help recovering a stolen ritual chalice, Amaya has no choice but to walk through those familiar, poisonous wards — this time with a badge, a partner, and fourteen years of hard-won scars.
What she finds inside is far more dangerous than any illusion.

37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist… pic.twitter.com/yaHqfF5XUu

OPEN THREAD: Sorry it’s late!
OVER ON SUBSTACK, ERIC OF SECURITY & CIGARS (WHICH I’VE LINKED A NUMBER OF TIMES) HAS BEEN WRITING A SERIAL NOVEL, BOUGIE APOCALYPSE. “”Bougie Apocalypse” is a serial style post-apocalyptic pulp story. Retired Sergeant Major Jack Harlan and his wife Raych are doing their best to keep civilization alive (real coffee, quality beans instead of MRE’s, refusing to become savages) while the Cough turns people into Zombies. It’s a mix of World War Z realism, Zombieland humor, and Mad Max road survival in the face of collapse. Competent protagonists, zombies, gas station raids, and killing zombies with frying pans!”
I’m in the book, maybe alive, maybe not. Schrodinger’s law professor!
MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: From Delaney Hall to ‘Freedom 250,’ lefty violence is what real insurrection looks like. “A duly elected president — one who won a majority of both the electoral vote and the popular vote, as well as carrying every swing state — is trying to enforce valid federal laws widely supported by the public. His political opponents are trying to use violence to stop it.” (Bumped.)
DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES:
One of our reporters, who got locked up in a New Jersey jail while documenting the chaos outside Delaney Hall a few nights ago, asked for toilet paper after being in a holding cell for 18 hours.
They told him to use his hand.
Wanna condemn that, @GovSherrillNJ?

If that had happened to a typical lefty reporter in a red state, it’s all you’d ever hear about.

WHAT? BIPARTISANSHIP? Actually yes. Two Republicans and two Democrats in Congress are co-sponsoring legislation closing a loophole that enables law enforcement to ignore the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement if your email content is more than 180 days old.
