Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist.

Every year, on May Day, a young woman is stolen away by the faeries to become their Queen for a year. This year, though, the faeries have bitten off more than they can chew. Shakti Nayar will do whatever it takes to get her own life as a botanist back. As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.
Strange Attractor

I had a really nice day.
