This collection of intriguing and mysterious Steampunk-style speculative short stories offers a good variety of settings and situations in which the reader is immersed as the tales develop.
The writing is evocative and richly textured. Some of these stories are full of brooding darkness and macabre imagery, creating a powerful contrast with the ironic humour and hopeful adventure that pervades the final story.
These stories are just the right size to enjoy one at a time during breaks in a busy day, and varied enough to maintain the reader’s interest when read in one sitting.
There is some adult content, so this is not a suitable book for younger readers, but it is a most enjoyable and diverting read for grownups.
