Give a Belated Welcome to The Cat’s Cradle, My New(ish) Substack Newsletter

Want to come along for this existential road trip of mine? — It started with a whisper. I didn’t really tell many people about it.

The Case of Hannah Louvre

There’s something lurking in this town. — Hannah Louvre was an art student — apt, given her last name — when I came upon her one December evening. She sat in a coffee shop, stirring what appeared to be an herbal tea that gave the appearance of lukewarm piss, and I watched her out of the corner…
