(via google maps) This is cool. Here is a site that lets people map events in books to a real world map. This is the map of London. It has a ways to go, Dickens alone would crowd out the map, but it is a very cool concept. Here is NYC.
The whole post is worth reading for other book-map mashups.
Have you mapped the location of Jonny Gates's island prison in Flicker. I believe it was about 500 miles SE of Seychelles.
ReplyDeleteYou naughty spoiler giving boy. Those who have not read Flicker, please ignore the prior comment.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to think of one of the more interesting maps that could be assembled. Maybe a Tim Powers in Las Vegas with Last Call. Maybe Cold Mountain.
Alienist would be great.
ReplyDeleteHow about The Wizard of Oz?
Or, the Wizard of Id, for that matter?
Sorry for the spoilage.
Real places only, although I suppose anyone could gin up a map if they wanted.
ReplyDeleteAre there any places in the Wizard of Id besides the castle grounds?
