(books) Hmm. This one may merit looking for.
I'm normally not a fan of Lovecraftean fantasy, but this sounds different enough that it could be interesting:
From Publisher's Marketplace, comes a deal for a new book:
Caitlin Kittredge’s YA fantasy trilogy THE IRON CODEX, beginning with THE WITCH’S ALPHABET, a series set in a Lovecraftian industrial city in an alternate 1950s that centers on a mechanically gifted young girl approaching her 16th birthday, the age at which everyone in her family goes insane, leaving it up to her to unravel the mystery of their madness — and save the world, to Kristin Marino at Delacorte, in a major deal, in a pre-empt, by Rachel Vater at Folio Literary Management (NA)
They had to say the magic words "Alternate 1950s".
