I refuse to fall into the trap of thinking that working more than 40 hours will accomplish anything but burnout.

But also because I want Holmes and Morticia to speak French, and for him to fence with Gomez, and teach the kids about poisons and criminals

Holmes folded down the top of the newspaper he was reading so he could see me. “A letter from whom?”

“Not sure.” I turned it over to study it as best I could. The envelope was thick and expensive, postmarked from America. The ink was rich and black, and it smelled unexpectedly floral, with an odd sulphuric note underneath. “Looks to be a woman’s writing, I’d say.”

“If you would.” He held out a pale hand. I passed him the envelope and he neatly sliced it open with his pocket knife. A single page slipped out onto his breakfast plate. He unfolded it with a flick of his wrist, then smiled. “Ah! Morticia.”

“Morticia?”

“Addams. She is my second cousin.”

I was immediately intrigued, for Holmes so rarely talked about his relatives. It had taken several years after our meeting for him to bring up the subject of his elder brother, who lived and worked barely an hour’s walk away. I wasn’t surprised that a second cousin in America had gone unnoted until now.

“Unusual names run in the family, I see.”

Holmes smirked. “Her grandmother was my great-aunt Séraphine, who met and married a quite singular gentleman named Algernon Frump while travelling. They settled over in the States many years ago, and dear Morticia now resides there with her husband.”

“Why does she write you?”

“She is arranging a sort of family reunion on All Hallow’s Eve. Apparently it has been far too long since we have all seen each other.”

“How long is that?”

“Several years at least. It was certainly before you and I met.” 

“And will you oblige her?”

“I suppose I will.” He folded the letter and placed it neatly back in its envelope, tucking it into his inside pocket. “You’ve been angling for a holiday, my boy. Would this satisfy you?”

“Wouldn’t it be terribly rude?” I asked, startled. “She has invited you, not me.”

He tutted. “Nonsense, Watson! Morticia knows we live together, of course.”

“How?”

“She will have read your book.”

“Oh! Well that is kind of her. But a family reunion, Holmes, I am not—”

what;s their subunit name. LilVingSon?????

Introducing...

Never Mind the Blizzard, an upcoming zine by and for fans of the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration!

The zine aims to be an informal, low-pressure publication for creative work of any kind (art, comics, fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, anything else you can think of) as long as it concerns Antarctic life circa 1897-1922. Contributions do not have to be very “serious” or polished; true to polar periodical form, the main goal is just for us to entertain ourselves and each other throughout this long Antarctic winter.

The result will be a digital zine that can be downloaded for free or on a pay-what-you-want basis. Proceeds will go to the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund (AWR).

Interested? Follow us here or on X / Gumroad to stay updated - and keep an eye out for a call for submissions very shortly!
