Another "absolute favorite" in Cabal's novellas.
This novella keeps true to Cabal's persona. It also reference back to the first book, which I base Cabal's persona on. Makes sense, eh?

A very good short story (maybe it's considered a novelette?). Cabal's character comes across really well, but other than references to his experiments, there is no necromancy to be seen!
Which isn't always a bad thing.
Howard's humour shines through and the twist is actually quite good.

Delightful, as always. I love Johannes and everything I can possibly learn about him.

A fun and clever little Johannes Cabal short story. To go into detail would I think spoil the experience of reading The Death of Me, so I won't. But Jonathan L. Howard deserves a lot of credit for playing with the reader's expectations, then playing with the playing, then playing with the playing of that playing, and so on. Not very long or involved, but it's an entertaining ride and a nice little bit of insight into our favorite necromancer of some little infamy, with a nice splash of Emily Dickinson for good measure.
