Black Cat - Snakes and Ladders

The whole novel at once, in reading order. Start at square 1. Each square is a piece. 55 squares: 45 published or written, 7 rooms still to write.

The board is read like a board game: left to right along the bottom row, then back along the next, climbing. The year dots show the story's own time - the twelve year jump between 2014 and 2024 is real, and the reader feels it as the board thins. The Lies are the ladders: each one jumps the reader somewhere the scenes alone would not reach.
