I picked up Meddling Heroes by Charlie Brooks on a whim; it was in the “local authors” display at an indie bookstore.
It’s a comic book superheroes story told from the points of view of a supervillain and his lawyer. It’s a short novel and I’m enjoying it (I’m about eighty percent through it). Hopefully Brooks sticks the landing.
The title story “If It Bleeds” really only works if you’ve read the previous novels in the series.
… Wow.
I really didn’t like that book.
Based on your review, I’ll give it a pass. 
You don’t say.
I enjoyed Queen’s Gambit when I read it, many years ago. Since Tevis had written science fiction (most notably The Man Who Fell to Earth), I thought that Queen’s Gambit would also be SF, but I still enjoyed it for what it was.
Finished A Grim Reaper’s Guide to Catching a Killer, by Maxie Dara and Sometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing Life, by Terry Brooks, both of which I enjoyed.
Next up: Shoebag, a middle grade fantasy by Mary James in which a cockroach wakes up and discovers that he’s been turned into a boy; and What an Owl Knows: The Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds, by Jennifer Ackerman.
I hope so, too! As you may recall from March and April 2021: Queen's Gambit on Netflix - #159 by Elendil_s_Heir
