Considerations for your work:
* Reflect on choices to include pastoral or urban settings in your fiction. What unique elements does the city environment offer?

* What further understanding of a city does the concept of the Architectural Uncanny and Ghostly City develop in your fiction? How might literary responses that are modern or postmodern emphasize these aspects?
* Feel free to share your related work or recommendations in the comments.
