Recorvia Episode 15
There were very few lights on the lower level of the castle Mallory had broken into. He crept through the dungeon that had way too many easy entrances. He stopped. A terrifying cackling heard around the corner in a small chamber followed by a voice, “AHAHAHA!! Ooooh this is just so riveting!! My lovely lady, oh yes, bless my lady!” Mallory looked through a small peephole and froze, petrified. Inside, a woman lay strapped with leather to a flat stone. Her mouth had a gauze shoved into it […]https://solaceem.wordpress.com/2026/09/06/recorvia-episode-15/

Kate Armstrong’s remark about #SinclairLewis reminded me of his vision of a #dystopian #US and a sanctuary #Canada in #ItCan’tHappenHere. I included it in my piece about how Canada figures in #American #dystopias, written in ‘24 but still painfully relevant. doncurren.blogspot.com/2024/06/what...

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Sci-Fi #Victober #ProjectGutenberg
Frederick Waddy, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsI’m reading through Anthony Trollope’s six volumes of the Chronicles of Barsetshire – you can check the links to the ebooks in my last year’s post here – and loving it, but for Victober I thought I would pick a more shorter, standalone book from the same author.
I came across The Fixed Period, which he wrote later in life and is considered a satirical dystopian novel. And this is so different from what he usually wrote that I got really curious and decided to pick it up. I’m still in the introduction, but I thought I would share the link to Project Gutenberg, where you can download the book. (No luck in finding it in a physical format, so thank you even more to Gutenberg volunteers!).
Also, although a satirical dystopian work, you may want to check your trigger content warnings.
The Fixed Period – Anthony Trollope can be downloaded here.

“The Victorian era witnessed the emergence of a new genre of science fiction, dystopian literature… Oliphant’s short story ‘The Land of Darkness’ is an important and overlooked example”
