The Changeling
Victor LavalleDr. Kate Sampsell@mungo2434 It’s very good, very well written. Next up is either The Changeling by Victor Lavalle or a bit of tartan noir by Denise Mina. She’s not my fave, but I’m waiting for Peter May’s new book. If you haven’t read his The Black House trilogy, I highly recommend it.

Prisoners of the Castle: An Epic Story of Survival and Escape from Colditz, the Nazis' Fortress Prison
Ben MacIntyreDr. Kate SampsellI’m reading a book on #Colditz POW camp, Prisoners of the Castle. I came upon the pictured quote. This language, used by English #fascists in Ger. to broadcast to Engl. sounds a lot like today’s neofascists and Musk’s views on Twitter. #Fascism #propaganda #twitterstorians https://t.co/3LwbVOUeRD
