As someone who enjoys the odd bit of #Regency #fiction (hello #Bridgerton and #DoctorWho #Rogue!), but who has never read any Austen, “It is a Truth Universally Acknowledged That We Shall Return Once Again to the Regency” by @natania taught me a lot and made me want to learn (and read!) more!

SO excited to read another @sarahpinsker story for the @UncannyMagazine Podcast! Her ability to instill a sense-of-place is off the charts. "Signs of Life" has great characters too, as real as the place -- OR ARE THEY?

Fave lines:
In the woods we invented ourselves. We were explorers on a new planet, princesses of Mars, visitors to the faerie realm. We invented languages and games and told secrets just for the sake of having secrets to keep.

Uncanny MagazineSigns of Life - Uncanny MagazineIf you were to drive to my sister Violet’s house today, you would find yourself at a very different place from the one I encountered on my first trip. The road up the mountain has been paved, for one thing, to make it more accessible to the tourists who now support it. Back then if […]
