The Last Days of Night
Historical Timeline
As a work of historical fiction, one of the major techniques employed in The Last Days of Night is a compressing and rearranging of the real-life calendar of events. Below, you can find both the real and the fictional timelines, so you can see where they match-up and where they diverge. Click on each event to see a primary source account of it.
Please note: “Historical spoilers” abound, so don’t read this until you’ve finished the book!
