Untimely reading

[ladyofastolat]

A few weeks ago, I read a very interesting book about the 1918 flu pandemic. At about the same time, I also read one about the Black Death, and did quite a lot of online reading about cholera epidemics, typhus on battlefields, and malaria in Britain.

I'm kind of wishing I hadn't done so now.

I've always been far too interested for my own good in the history of epidemics, and novels in which killer diseases wipe out the world. They tend to give me bad dreams afterwards, but I keep returning to them.
