Kate:

Yes, please!

(I thought of one that does exist, actually: The Diary of Pelly D, by L. J. Adlington. It’s basically a Holocaust story, only it’s science fiction ’cause it’s about genes. Since it’s told using the “I found a mysterious diary!” device, it also does a neat job of making the world seem very normal… until it ISN’T ANYMORE. Dun, dun DUN!)

Yay! Thanks for the shout-out.

Perhaps I shall write you a dystopian teen romance in thanks.

Dollhouse reminds you of House of Stairs? Is there a social experiment aspect to Dollhouse that I missed? (I only watched the first couple of episodes.)

Maybe reading House of Stairs at a young age is why the entire concept of “Dollhouse” gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies.
