The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters
I’ve been hearing stuff about this new book series The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. Apparently it’s like Victorian sci-fi, Lost-y, Dickens-type mystery-ish. Dunno about you, but I’m intrigued. Anyone else heard of?

Yeah i've been reading this.. here's what i think of the first chapter..
So far it does not seem to be Victorian Gothic in even the broadest, most liberal sense of the term. The style of narrative suggests a Comedy of Manners.
The first pages are full of details about Miss Temple's life and her previous relationship with the man who has just jilted her. Then comes a sequence on a strangely empty train, where she discovers that the (very few) passengers are all wearing masks which is strangely disquieting
The train journey gets creepier and i won't tell you how it ends but its obviously got a few twists and turns
Its quite wordy but very actioned packed and reminds me of lost in pseudo fantastical sort of way..
