San Francisco, 1906. Five days after a catastrophic earthquake, Detective Yount wanders the city’s streets, searching for a wealthy man’s stolen pocket watch. The longer he grapples with the destruction – and his own feelings of loss – the smaller his mission seems.
“San Francisco is Buckled, San Francisco is Burning” is one of ten stories included in The Blood of Englishmen, a 2026 anthology from History Through Fiction.
