The Time Machine, Brave New World, 1984: these weren’t the first dystopian novels. There's an interesting history of Victorian and Edwardian literature looking at the impact of modernity on humans and finding it worrying. Today in pulp I look at some early dystopian books…

Do you remember watching Play for Today when it was on TV in the 1970s or 1980s? If so, please get in touch (see email address in image) I'm *especially* wanting to hear from any viewers who lived in Northern Ireland, Northern England, the Midlands, or saw it outside the UK!

I hate wasps. So, I have to keep reminding myself that they aren’t just there to annoy us. "A loss of wasps… leads to reduced pollination, and without wasps our plants are more likely to be eaten by insect larvae otherwise controlled by wasps." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A reminder that after 50 years Harlan Ellison's THE LAST DANGEROUS VISIONS will debut October 2nd, so there's still time to pick up the original DANGEROUS VISIONS and AGAIN, DANGEROUS VISONS before this hits the stores.

It only took me six years but I finally published something on my ongoing interest in trolls. Thank you to @Sylvan_Solace for providing the original inspiration at a conference on Gothic Nature.
