Question for old #scifi readers.
Which story (maybe 50 years old) opened with a sentence about a tall apartment where "... a piano was playing a man"?
Like Huxley's feelies.
Google failed me and LLM (I know, but sometimes you gotta try to peek around copyright walls in the interest of 'fair use' research) invented the usual plausible but wrong answer.

I just finished The Dust of Egypt by Seabury Quinn. It's a pulp adventure tale from 1930. It's got mummies, mesmerism, murder and a weird, almost Jungian, obsession with the physical manifestation of the subconscious. Interestingly, for the time, it takes a dim view of looting masquerading as archeology. Check it out! #pulp #books #egypt #internetarchive

If you like urban fantasy, but you're tired of the tropes playing out the same--snarky relucant hero, tortured by their sins--please check out my novel, Idle Hands.

Dr. Grey is anything but reluctant or tortured by her sins. Skeptical, bitter, but not tortured. She revels in what she's becoming.

The book cover for Idle Hands. The background is a street-level photograph of Philadelphia City Hall and surrounding buildings. The building-top statue of William Penn is at the very top of the cover. The photograph is manipulated to have a deep cyan tint. The title is rendered in an orange-red, shiny font at the top. Orange flames rise from the bottom of the cover, turning to wisps of smoke at the top. In the flame stands a slim, middle-aged Black woman with a medium-length afro hairstyle--presumably Jackson Grey. Dr. Grey faces the viewer. She has a neutral expression on her face. She's wearing a grey hoodie and blue jeans. She's holding a pistol fitted with a silencer in her right hand, her finger on the trigger; the weapon is pointed down and to the side. Her left hand is held in a fist at her side. At the bottom, in a teal font that contrasts with the flame is the subtitle and author. The subtitle is "The Jackson Grey Situation #1". The author is Aubrey Jones.
