Today is Setting Orange, day 23 in the season of The Aftermath, 3271.

Curse you, chadu! This will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana

If you're simply a reader who reads mystery, science fiction or horror, you'll find yourself spending entire afternoons jumping about the book. It's pretty damn amazing how complex and interesting the history of the genres we love turns out to be, and that history is here in every single detail, in more detail than one might imagine possible. The bottom line is that if you read genre fiction, here is a book about genre fiction that reads like a work of genre fiction but isn’t at all fictional, thus making it even more amazing. This is a total hoot, and it will enliven subsequent reading in a way that will make it even more valuable.
