An interesting thing seems to be happening: Susanna Clarke is coming back. Two books influenced by her unique blend of real-world history and strange magick and Faerie are coming out this year: H.G. Perry's A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians (which will be the first book of a duology) and Alix Harrow's The Once and Future Witches. (There may well be others with Strange & Norrell influences that I don't know about.)

The BBC Natural History Unit Odyssey #1: Parker, Fenton, and Hooper
(Crossposted and lightly edited from the Filmtracks Scoreboard.)
A few weeks ago [on the Scoreboard -ed] I discussed an Odyssey of my own. Unwilling to go for one composer, I've gone for multiple and elected for
the works of the BBC Natural History Unit. Soundtracks dating from 1979
to present day; twenty-six of them in total.
I will note that I am a slower listener and a slower reviewer then many
on this forum, so please don't expect any particular rapidity of posting.
