1865 年 6 月 9 日，正处于创作与声望巅峰、堪称当时乃至世界历史上最著名、最成功的小说家的 53 岁 Charles Dickens 与秘密情妇乘火车前往伦敦途中，遭遇了一场彻底改变他一生的灾难。事故发生后，Dickens 是否开始过上了阴暗的双重生活？他夜间潜入伦敦最恶劣的贫民窟，以及对尸体、地下墓穴、谋杀、鸦片馆、用石灰坑溶解尸体和隐秘地下伦敦的日益痴迷，仅仅是为了取材调研……还是另有隐情

这几部我几年前读过，自然是非常值得推荐，不过在历史小说这个品类里，今年读到最棒的是丹·西蒙斯的《Drood》。
I read those a few years back and they obviously come highly recommended, but in the same vein of historical fiction the best this year was: "Drood", by Dan Simmons.
丹·西蒙斯的小说《Drood》，极为虚构地描摹了威尔基·柯林斯与查尔斯·狄更斯的关系。我从小说里发现的一个极有意思的真实史实是，威尔基·柯林斯对鸦片酊严重上瘾，而且多年来……
Dan Simmons’ novel “Drood”, a very fictional account of the relationship between Willkie Collins and Charles Dickens. A fascinating true item I learned from the novel was that Willkie Collins was addicted to laudanum and for many…
如果你对“狄更斯的乌鸦”这个梗感兴趣，一定要看看丹·西蒙斯的《Drood》。它以虚构笔法描写了狄更斯人生最后五年的光景，全书透过同行作家威尔基·柯林斯被阿片类药物迷蒙的双眼展开，宛如狄更斯风与大卫·林奇的疯狂混搭，满是浓郁的维多利亚……
If you love the idea of Dickens’ Ravens, check out Drood by Dan Simmons. It’s a fictionalized account of the last five years of Dickens life told through the opioid addled haze of fellow author Wilkie Collins, a Dickensian-David Lynch mashup dripping with Victorian…
《德鲁德》读起来太引人入胜了，这也是我第一次接触威尔基·柯林斯。正是因为读了《德鲁德》，我的书架上此刻才放着一本《月亮宝石》正等着我翻开呢。
Drood was a fascinating read, and was my first exposure to Wilkie Collins. Reading Drood is the reason I have a copy of The Moonstone on my shelf waiting to be read at this very moment.
……想要在一个更阴暗、带点惊悚悬疑的背景下，看柯林斯作为一个不可靠（鸦片成瘾）叙述者去探索他俩关系的虚构故事，不妨读读丹·西蒙斯的《Drood》（2009）。我今年早些时候读过，非常过瘾。虽然设定很奇特，但西蒙斯成功写出了一部让你完全忘了“他根本不是狄更斯同代人”的作品……
…would enjoy a fictional exploration of their relationship in a somewhat darker, rather macabre setting with Wilkie Collins as an unreliable (opium addicted) narrator might consider reading Dan Simmons' Drood (2009). I had the pleasure of reading it earlier this year. While the premise is odd, Simmons succeeded in creating a work where it is easy to forget that he is not (by far) a contemporary of Dickens…
其实，我是通过《Drood》才了解威尔基·柯林斯的（而且读得相当尽兴）；但现在我发现自己读的狄更斯太少了，得去读读《圣诞颂歌》以外的作品。不过读丹·西蒙斯真是种享受，不管是《海伯利安》，还是他那些史蒂芬·金风格的作品，亦或是我最爱的《……
In fact, I discovered Wilkie Collins through (and thoroughly enjoyed) Drood; but now I find my Dickens is lacking and I need to explore beyond A Christmas Carol. But reading Dan Simmons is a delight, whether it’s Hyperion, or his Stephen King-esque works, or my favourite, The…
