Pickpick

This novel is set in a gaslamp fantasy world that has transitioned from the feudal age to the steam age, and a unique political system that has become unbalanced by that transition after a millennium of stability. The book starts with a political assassination attempt via an Empath and builds to an all-out clandestine war to shift the balance of power, or stop it at any cost.

Just received the proof of my Victorian vampire thriller! Not exactly my first rodeo, but it's still so exciting when you hold that first physical copy in your hands! #writerlife #vampires #gaslamp #horror

I usually love Datlow/Windling anthologies, but this one wasn't for me. I think a common time period isn't enough base a collection of fantasy stories on. I get excited about their anthologies of retellings and ones that explore a specific subject. An era isn't a specific enough topic for me

TheAromaofBooks I struggle with anthologies. I'm reading one right now & it feels like it may never end lol 3y
AllisonM89 @TheAromaofBooks i tend to love or hate them. I generally love the ones that datlow/windling compile, but not this one.. 3y

Unfortunately this anthology is Not For Me. I wish it was otherwise. There were some good stories, but most of them felt like I had to force myself to read. I'm giving up at Mrs. Splitfoot. I was hoping for much more.... fairys/Magic and that just didn't happen. #anthology #library #victoriaera

I went to the gym even thought I was not feeling it. This is my reward. #anthology #gaslamp #icecream
