Greetings to all. Here are some new Deal Me In posts to tide you over through the Thanksgiving Holiday Week:

James is now on to his second deck of Deal Me In, but I’ll continue to include links to any new Deal Me In posts of his here. This week it was Ken Liu’s story “The Gods Will not be Chained” and William Roughead’s essay, “The Ardlamont Mystery” http://jamesreadsbooks.com/2014/11/19/ken-lui-vs-william-roughead-a-deal-me-in-short-story-challenge/
