The experiment is language, but I don't stop there. I share the story on my blog, and here is a piece that discusses the inspiration.

⚠ ATTENZIONE: QUESTO ARTICOLO CONTIENE SPOILER.

🖤🌹 Londra vittoriana, tra nebbia e peccato.
Un crocevia di anime perdute, creature spezzate, uomini e donne che lottano contro la propria natura.
Un mondo dove Dio e il Diavolo siedono allo stesso tavolo, e l’unica certezza è che nessuno ne uscirà indenne.

Penny Dreadful non è una serie. È un’incisione sulla pelle.

To wrap up #PrideMonth, I want to share a recommendation for a great #LGBTQ #book I've read over the past few weeks: the first part of the Adrian Mayfield trilogy.
Unfortunately, this #novel set in #VictorianLondon is only available in Dutch, German, and Danish, but I still want to #review it since it's one of the best page-turners I've read in a long time.

The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper

The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper takes a refreshing approach by focusing on the lives of the women believed to be victims of the notorious killer rather than simply...

“And then I looked at the stars, and considered how awful if would be for a man to turn his face up to them as he froze to death, and see no help or pity in all the glittering multitude.”

“The wind was blowing drearily. The lamps looked pale, and shook as if they were cold. There was a distant glimmer of something that was not quite darkness, rather than of light, in the sky; and foreboding night was shivering and restless, as the dying are who make a troubled end.”

“Dombey and son” Charles Dickens - 1846
