You wake in a strange room.

Your clothes are foreign and the walls are covered in objects from a different world.

You don't know where or when you are.

Or if you're still dreaming.

There are footsteps in the hall.

Jumping up, you race out of the room and into the streets.

You have just entered the Twilight Histories.

Hi, I'm Jordan Harbor.

Thank you for listening to the Twilight Histories.

Today we have a creepy story that takes you to a very strange alternate universe that mixes World War I with the Dark Arts.

Before we get started, we have an announcement. We have just launched our first Twilight History's novel.

It takes place during the gritty years of the fall of the Roman

Empire. I'll tell you more about the novel at the end of the show, so keep your headphones on.

For now, let's jump right into today's show. Lord of Helicoland by Kevin Valbenese.

When we think of the First World War, it's easy to snap to images of weary men in the trenches

or hellish landscapes of muck, craters, and barbed wire. To be sure, that did define the Great

War, but there were a number of other fronts from the windswept

deserts of Arabia to the frigid waters of the North Sea but you already know

that after all that's why you're here I see here that you're interested in the

naval history of the First World War.

I think we can accommodate you there.

I also see that you listed a preference for not being present at any major battles.
