The national anthem for Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania must be a real bitch to sing.

Kid Twist (Harold Gould) must be wondering how he wound up with his head mounted on a clock in Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania when just a minute ago he was running a long con with Gondorff and Hooker (you know who) back in Chicago.

You know, these alleged fantastic and supernatural events aren’t really that scary. I don’t think they really amount to hair-raising. Let’s just go with eyebrow-raising.”

@NomadUK: Thanks – I’ve been trying to think who it looked like. My best effort was George Pravda in an out-take from Gilliam’s ‘Munchhausen’.

If Doc goes there, he better not enquire about the Popular People’s Front of Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania

He’s enquiring when somebody will be round to fix his clock, I’d have thought.

The chimneys of many castles in Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania emit very specific smoke formations.

I see we’ve got the “Seizure Sans” font up top. Can we get a “font problems”?
@fred: At the Olympics, they get two or three sign-carriers because it won’t all fit on one.
@Nomad: Your comment made me smile. On a Monday! whistles Scott Joplin
@Max: Just getting the damn numbers right would help. He needs to enquire about that instead.
GSS for the mouseover text.

Right out the gate, @fred had me cackling…
@GSS x-n: GSS for “seizure sans” – I naturally head tilt for the magic of trifocals to work and it took me a sec to realize that a cover got the better of me – again!
Is one of Dr. E’s enquiries about those two boring square columns on either side of the cover that are holding nothing up?

@Emster: Can’t take credit for it — the phrase or something similar showed up about another cover here, but I don’t remember who coined it. I did the same with my bifocals.
It’s possible the non-working clock is suspended from the columns. But I’ve no idea what the decorative squiggly corners either side of Dr. E’s scalp are either.

A novel in which the passive voice is overused to mind numbing effect.

So this is what they mean by a “clock face?”

If I had to guess the plot from the cover I’d have to say it’s a mash up of Metropolis, Dracula, and Murder on the Orient Express.

@JJYoyo: with some alternate history thrown in.

@Bruce: That link didn’t work for me.
Is this it? It’s got your name on.

@GSS ex-noob: funny, the first works for me. Yeah, that’s my take on it: alternate history maps are a hobby of mine.
How about this one? http://www.avramdavidson.org/Westfall.jpg

@Bruce: I like the old-timey one from the book . But I raise an eyebrow at Ruritania being on a seacoast. Another one of Davidson’s fancies, or the mapmaker’s?
@JJYoyo: GSS.

@JJYoyo: I’d watch that movie.
