I'm going to take you on it.

It is truly weird.

It's a weird story.

Okay, so we are in the 1810s.

So we're kind of 1816 into 1817.

It's Jane Austen.

Yeah.

And you know, it's interesting when I started writing.

So this is one of three stories in my new book, Hoax.

And when I started writing that, I was like, okay, I'm gonna have to situate people in this.

This kind of Austen-esque world that people are familiar with.

You know, you've got your Mr. Darcy's, you've got your Pemberley, you've got your polite little balls.

Everyone's kind of bowing and scraping to each other, some polite dancing, maybe some love letters, that's it.

But this is also, you know, this is a time when the world is feeling incredibly dark.

Napoleon's just been defeated.

Waterloo has just happened in 1815.

there's been enormous bloodshed.

People in Britain are seeing veterans come back from the continent with missing limbs.

They're not getting work.

The industrial North is increasingly unstable and unsatisfied.
