Penny Dreadful
30 Aug 2009 02:26 pmI started reading Unnatural History (which was a giveaway at Constitution) on the train yesterday. Set in an alternative, steam/dieselpunkish London in 1996, it's extremely derivative and contains pretty much all turn of 19th/20th century mysterious/scifi/fantasy concepts in a weird but strangely cool mix of Victorian adventure/mystery and pulp story, complete with all relevant character stereotypes. The protagonist, Ulysses Quicksilver, is a mix of The Shadow and James Bond (agent of Her Majesty's government and a bit of a cad).
It's rubbish but highly entertaining rubbish. :D
I'm amused by the negative comments on amazon who all miss the point.
