wait so is the dog an allegory for black people in 19th century london or that dog is literally just going around checking out what the blacks up to

london characters and crooks by henry mayhew

your story sounds stupid tho

>>10339604
In these times when the book market is oversaturated with high fantasy d&d bullshit and crappy crime detective franchises, I think experimental fiction like this should be supported in every way.

>>10339326
Doesn't matter, it sounds stupid either way.

>Victorian historical fiction
>Experimental

What the fuck are you on about

>>10340446
>stray dog who goes from house to house and experiences the lives of black people

I almost forgot how in Victorian times stray dogs were fucking telekinetics

The dog is more interesting than the blacks.

>>10340484
I thought you just meant it was a regular dog. Regardless magic realism really cliche at this point

>stray dog who goes from house to house and experiences the lives of black people.
lmao

You realize that's a 100 year period, right?
But read Oscar Wilde

>>10340802
Hector Hugh Munro as well

I'm not op, but at this point i'm defending anything that's not a high fantasy wanna be trilogy or some generic detectice vs criminal wannabe psychological thriller. The marked needs more variety, and even a telekinetic victorian dog is to be preffered at this point.

>>10340881
I totally disagree, what the market needs is quality not more stupid gimmicks

>>10340894
Well you ain't gonna get quality out of the current trends, so by supporting stupid but original gimmicks you might get some gems in the process.

>>10340802
>The story im writing is about a stray dog

Op probably meant turn of the century

>>10341001
And how did you figure that out by the stray dog premise

>>10341384
dogs were invented circa 1890

>>10339326
