I am irritated to see that I inadvertently bought a pulp novel reprint with an AI cover. Loving how the mystery man wanting to attend a club has the option to go to CLUE, GLUB, SLUB, or [eldritch horror font].

Wollstonecraft on forest fires & climate grief, from 1796: "The devastation must, indeed, be terrible, when this, literally speaking, wild fire, runs along the forest, flying from top to top, & crackling amongst the branches. . . the country, despoiled of beauty & riches, is left to mourn for ages."

I love the monsters kids come up with for this workshop - including "a kelpie that sucks your blood (only the size of thumbelina)" and "a giant turtle that sticks driftwood to its back (so it can plunge down to the depths with shipwrecked mariners and drown them)". Lovely, ghoulish, no notes.
