Hounds of Autumn | Heather Blackwood
8 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
They say that the moor has eyes. It is 1890, and the windswept moors hold dark secrets. Chloe Sullivan is an amateur inventor whose holiday takes a dark turn when her friend and colleague, one of the few female mechanical experts in the British Empire, is murdered. A black mechanical hound roams the moors, but could it have killed a woman? And what secrets are concealed within the dark family manor? Accompanied by her naturalist husband and clockwork cat, Chloe is determined to see her friend's killer found. But some secrets have a terrible cost.

I finished my first Steampunk book and it was wonderful!!!! This one was a Mystery and Mysteries are my jam! I plan to read more of this genre. Are there any Steampunk fans here on Litsy, I would love to know your favs!!!

drokka If you like mysteries then I recommend 7y
robinb I'm wanting to try this genre as well! I've read one that was billed as an urban fantasy, steampunk mystery, but I'm not sure that it's strictly steampunkish. I'm actually still trying to figure out just what "steampunk" is. ? 7y

Cinfhen I JUST read my first #steampunk check out the discussion... @LibrarianRyan gave the best description @robinb 7y
LibrarianRyan @robinb Steampunk imagines a world run on steam engines not electricity. Science and math are very important. Steam ships and zeppelins still exist and are/can be used in every day life. The world clock has been stoped around the turn of the century and still has a very Victorian feel. Alchemy is still a legitimate science and then air is filled with aether. Everything even animals are mechanical The world is still exploring, building, dreaming. (edited) 7y
LibrarianRyan Most of Gail Carrianger's works or fantasy Steampunk and include vampires and wear wolves. 7y
LibrarianRyan This is not true steam punk as it's a futuristic novel but it has a verse Steampunk feel. 7y
LibrarianRyan For those with a more literary bent try Steampunk lite and a fantastic movie. 7y
