Finished Alan Moore's /The Great When/ (2024), a #weird novel of post-WW II London and the superior London it veils. Moore puts the "urban" in #urban #fantasy, not unlike N.K. Jemisin's /Great Cities/ duology, but builds on Machen rather than Lovecraft. Good, satirical writing and some lovely characters; I don't really feel I got a handle on the other London, but then it's meant to be too Dadaist to grasp and remain sane. A trilogy is promised, and I'm here for it. #books #sff
