I enjoyed this one a lot. The bits with the strange machine were wonderfully spooky, especially when they started to mess with your character’s memory and sense of reality through the power of books! I also liked learning more about the Professor and the Linguist and their relationship to each other.
This was another delicious story from Anna Anthropy (who also wrote The Stolen Soiree). I’ll be looking forward to more from this author in the future!
