Sorcery & Steam

by Gwyneth Gibby (Editor), Lee Allred, Leslie Claire Walker

Steampunk and sorcery offer fantastic flights of imagination in this latest volume of Fiction River Presents. From the merciless march of Lovecraftian prose to the echoes of Russell Hoban's Ridley Walker, these nine authors create convincing and compelling worlds that feel like familiar places from some past life or dream. With engaging characters often caught in agonizing situations, this spellbinding volume proves why Adventures Fantastic says the Fiction River series "is one of the best and most exciting publications in the field today."

[Hakan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful collection of short stories, each just the perfect size for a short flight of fancy during coffee breaks

While decidedly more Sorcery than Steam, ithe fantasy part was not too over-tje-top, matching a more sci-fi reading taste perfectly.
