We Have Returned

A Message from Calliope Avatar

Gentle Readers,

I am delighted to report that, thanks to the help of my beloved sister, Clio Avatar, and a powerful posse composed of our Substack subscribers, the Musketeers of the Decision Game Club, and the Militia of the Museum at Mount Ida, the forces of Goodness, Truth, and Beauty have overthrown the shadow-rich regime of the Mistress of the Dimly Lit.

In the course of regaining control of the Old Headquarters Building, we managed to capture the maleficent Anna Phylaxis. After giving her a fair trial (that is, a drumhead court martial) we consigned Anna to a place where she will enjoy much opportunity to reflect upon her many crimes. Indeed, we piously hope that, with the help of improving books, she will eventually decide to mend her wicked ways.

In the meantime, Extra Muros will resume its previous program of publication, providing articles of interest to folks fond of self-directed education, especially aficionados of active verbs, the employers of ear dragons, and devotés of words recently imported from French.
