Set in a very alternative 19th century, these three stories feature a mix of historical and imaginary figures.

In Victoria, a young and lissome Queen Victoria disappears from her throne and is replaced by a sexy human/newt clone.

In Hottentots, Massachusetts is threatened by H.P. Lovecraft-style monsters and, of course, Hottentots.

In Walt and Emily, Emily Dickinson hooks up with a robust and lusty Walt Whitman and travels to a dimension beyond time where she and her companions meet the future Allen Ginsberg.
