WEDNESDAY, November 10th at 7pm: STEAMPUNK STORIES with Finn: The "Harry and Marlowe" Adventures.


Finn Zeddore opens the pages of Lightspeed magazine to read Carrie Vaughn’s Harry and Marlowe Escape the Mechanical Siege of Paris.

HARRY LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND THOUGHT: AT LEAST I SAW PARIS ONE MORE TIME BEFORE IT WAS DESTROYED IN THE BOMBARDMENT.

THE CITY WAS AS BEAUTIFUL, EVENTFUL, AND ASTONISHING AS ANY YOUNG WOMAN WHO’D READ TOO MANY NOVELS COULD WISH FOR. SHE’D TRAVELED HERE SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE ON HER GRAND TOUR AND HAD THOUGHT HERSELF QUITE WORLDLY AND JADED THIS TIME AROUND. BUT THE SIGHT OF THE SEINE, LINED WITH MAGNIFICENT BUILDINGS, PALACES, PARKS, AND GALLERIES, WITH A PROMISE OF SO MANY TREASURES AND ADVENTURES WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED, EXCITED HER BEYOND HER EXPECTATION. BROUGHT TEARS TO HER EYES, EVEN. EIFFEL’S NEW TOWER FROM THE WORLD’S FAIR SEVERAL YEARS PREVIOUS STOOD WATCH, LURKING ABOVE THE CITY, AN IRON SKELETON.

Presented live in Voice.
