...fun to read.--Sam Tomaino, SFRevuEgregiously ridiculous.--Lois Tilton, LOCUS MagazineIf Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll took acid together and then wrote a Gothic Penny Dreadful, it might have looked something like this...Prepare thyself, dear reader! Within these pages you shall witness the rattling of shackles, the melancholic moans of the undead, and tortures of the damned! Herein ye shall find fiendish plots, Gothic atmospherics, senseless raving, and chest-thumping hysteria! Oh, yes! Lord Byron and his friends are in trouble. The Bedlam Asylum is mistreating the inmates. The American Revolution can be prevented...but how? Who can stop this madness? In this series of three novellas two friends are ping-ponging back and forth between the 18th and 19th centuries using their time engine, the Wandering Shade. Along the way, they must contend with galvanism, necromancy, demons dredged up during seances, a fickle time machine (with more in common with taffy than a machine), witches giving birth to corn muffins, and a one-way ticket to Bramerica. The cast of characters includes lycanthropes, centaurs, teapot headed death robots, a sentient race of mushrooms, a mad scientist running an insane asylum, and a rabid fox named Frothy. Has their ship slipped its moorings...or have their minds?
