pickWill Raven's wife is 8 months' pregnant. Spiritualism and mesmerism come to Edinburgh. And a foot is found in a cupboard in Surgeons' Hall. But whose?

The Future Future: great cover, very weird concept and terrible execution. Zero stars. I just flipped through the second half and it got weirder and weirder.
