Friday's "Forgotten" Books (and Magazines, Short Fiction, Comics and Audiobooks): the links to the reviews and more: 30 November 2018

This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles.  Founder Patti Abbott is on hiatus this week...so if I've missed yours or someone else's, please let me know in comments...
