Convivium

A convivium is a Roman dinner party.
It's also a little tale from Arcturus' past, taking place approximately four years earlier than the events of Nox Dormienda.

It's a morsel of hardboiled, a terse but tasty hors d'oeuvre to whet your appetite.

And you can read it. For free. gratis. Just read the terrific noir e-zine Hardluck Stories.

And now: breaking news! CONVIVIUM has been nominated for an inaugural SPINETINGLER AWARD for Best Short Story on the Web!

For more information on the awards and to see the stellar company Convivium is keeping, please visit the Crime Zine Report.

Bilicho never thought this could happen.
