ankh_hplSteampunks, lovers of classic horror, or anyone else who enjoys a tale told from an unconventional viewpoint won't want to miss StarShipSofa podcast No. 278.
The main fiction this time is "The Mad Scientist's Daughter" by Theodora Goss, and it's one of the most imaginative bits of dark fantasy I've heard in some time. Here's the premise: several of the maddest scientists of Victorian horror (Moreau, Frankenstein, Jekyll . . . ) all had daughters. Very . . . unusual ones.
And they've formed a club for possible world domination.
This is a nearly hour-long delight to listen to, & available as always from the Sofa web site, or on iTunes. If you'd like to read it as well, it appeared originally in Strange Horizons, here. It has recently been reprinted in The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination.
