Now, I can take a bath. Sometime around page two hundred the book finally took off (It's a pun!)
I got to read about 150 pages thanks to the help of a battery operated night light. Wind took out our power last night and I was forced to improvise. I was surrounded by candles and the only real light on the page came from a tiny LED light that I balanced on my stomach and focused on the page. What fun. It added a lot to the atmosphere of the book. I highly recommend it.
What a weird twisted tale. Very dark and disturbing, kind of Lovecraft meets Wells meets Dickens. Maybe Verne instead of Welles. It's the kind of book that is going to sit with me.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
