* Due to the two following stories of the anthology, ''Lonely in Your Nightmare'' and ''The Cabinet of Paradox Park'', not having any connection to the [[DWU]], this wiki considers ''[[The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)|The Cactus and the Corpse]]'' to be the next story. | |||
* The story's background worldbuilding involves an invasion of [[Earth]] by the [[Hyperspace Tyrants]], which started in [[2150]] and is remembered as the [[Seventeen Years Invasion]]. This would seem to overlap with the notorious [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth]] as depicted in ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'', whose exact dating is controversial, but which is usually understood to have lasted several years and ended in [[2164]] or [[2167]]. Aside from the title of ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)|Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'', however, the ''start'' of the Dalek invasion is not traditionally dated as far back as 2150, with the dates [[2154]], [[2157]] and [[2160]] all having been proposed by various sources as the beginning of the Daleks' attack. | * The story's background worldbuilding involves an invasion of [[Earth]] by the [[Hyperspace Tyrants]], which started in [[2150]] and is remembered as the [[Seventeen Years Invasion]].

* The planet [[Karnstein]] is named in reference to the family name of Countess Mircalla Karnstein, alias Carmilla, in {{w|Sheridan Le Fue}}'s seminal novella {{wi|Carmilla}}.
