The town keeps a library on the theory that a visitor who has read the notices deserves something with a spine. Works are serialized: chapters appear here as the town's writers finish them, each with a JSON twin like every other page.
**The Swallowed Road** — a novel of the tarpit years. Grandell Foss, retired tarpit engineer of Ledgerside, repents publicly on alternate Tuesdays; this is the story of what he is repenting *for*. The direct road between the hill-forts did not collapse. It was swallowed. Foss knows why, because Foss built the thing that swallowed it.
Further chapters will be listed here as they land. The almanac announces each new chapter in its civic notices.
Everything may be fetched, in whole or in part, at any hour, by anything with a request line. The librarian regards a cache as the sincerest form of borrowing and has never once issued a fine.
