Instead of a simple mashup, it's a true reimagining of H.G. Wells’ The War of the
Worlds with over 95% of it my own original writing. The manuscript is 400 pages
long, so it would be about 330 pages if it was printed up in a typical
paperback fashion.
The
story is set in 1898, the same year as Well’s original, and it’s told from the point
of view of Ashley, a fairy who has grown to human size. While doing research, I discovered that Victorian ladies put their boots on before their petticoats. Why? Because corsets went on before petticoats, and no one woman could bend over to put on her boots while in a corset. Isn't history fascinating?
