![]() Mock the Midnight Bell by Sarah Caulfield The Curious Case of the Werewolf that Wasn’t, the Mummy that Was and the Cat in the Jar by Gail Carriger ( The Parasol Protectorate, Custard Protocol, Supernatural Society, and Delightfully Deadly) ![]() Readers will be pleasantly entertained with the robust collection of stories, including: In the soon to be released anthology Clockwork Cairo from Twopenny Books, Editor Matthew Bright has compiled a stellar collection of stories with the gothic nuances of Steampunk and the exotic grandeur of Egyptian lore.Īs Bright pointedly explains when defining that which he sees as Egyptian Steampunk, “I wanted the voices that are too frequently forgotten, the voices so frequently untold, and the voices often missing from history.” So, fans of clockwork literature rest assured, these pages are filled with adventures of airships and parasols and gear-driven mechanisms and noted historical participants like Nikola Tesla and popular characters like Sir Maurice Newbury and Miss Veronica Hobbes. ![]() The speculative mind of some of the most creative writers seems a comfortable fit for the genre when allowed to expand to a time and space outside of Victorian London. The charm of Steampunk resides primarily in the boundless possibilities of the imagination when combining historical elements with science fiction. ![]()
