I’ve owned this book for several years, & throughly enjoy it. I noticed one of your posts on the movies, & thought of you. [LINK to :“Bride Of The Rat God”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345381017/qid=1084544779/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1__i1_xgl14/002-1822958-2028026?v=glance&s=books) Barabra Hambly has done a number of horror/dark fantasy books, but this one is set in Hollywood during 1923, & is good enough to have rekindled my intrest in early Hollywood films. It is well-written, & the title explicitly chosen to recall the early Republic serials. I sincerly hope that Hambly uses some of these characters again. This is fun!! ---

Oops, I opened this thread to congratulate Eve on her impending nuptials. ---

If you _must_ know, the Rat God and I are _just good friends_. ---

> [@Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor](#): > > Have you already read it? 🙂 No—I read the link you gave, and it does sound interesting . . . My problem with historical fiction is that I know _way_ too much about the silent-screen era, and any little mistakes the author makes are going to take me out of the book to go, “_No_, you idiot, _everyone_ knows Nita Naldi made her first film in 1920, not 1923!” I’m reading _Bandbox_ (v. enjoyable), which **Cranky** sent me, and it takes place in NYC in 1928—but the author completely won me over by saying in the foreward, “I fudged some dates and events, deal with it.”
