Ich zitiere mal »#Detailtypographie«:

Es ist einer der häufigsten Mängel, daß kritische Kombinationen wie »Te« viel zu eng gestellt werden, oft weit enger als ganz unkritische Kombinationen.«

Henry Kuttner's Crypt-City of the Deathless One, a sci-fi novella published in Planet Stories in 1943.

Clever and exciting. Hugely enjoyable.

There’s a genuine sense of evil, and of decadence. There’s also a decidedly bleak and tragic edge to the tale.
