Our village has a history museum. An enthusiast donated his recreation of the village’s long gone railway station to the museum. I visited it today. 10/11/26 (we were told the Smithsonian wanted it.)

Goodnight. Illustration of Ghost Walk by Phiz for Bleak House, Charles Dickens

The Ghost's Walk by Phiz (Hablot Knight Browne) for Charles Dickens' novel Bleak House. It is one of the "dark plates" from the series, which were created using a new etching technique to produce a mysterious, misty look.
The illustration depicts a dark, atmospheric night scene at Chesney Wold, the home of Lady Dedlock. A large, ornate building with lit windows is visible on the left, with a prominent staircase and balustrade leading down to a terrace. A large, dark tree stands in the foreground, and the sky is filled with heavy clouds, though a faint light is visible on the horizon.

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:
