The Hitherto Secret Experiments of Marie Curie

When asked if I was interested in writing “an alternate history about a young Marie Curie getting mixed up in dark fantasy shenanigans”, of course I said YES. (Dead Women in STEM FTW!) And then I proceeded to do the most research I have ever done for a short story. I read a myriad of books and articles on…
