I am so excited to share the cover and Table of Contents for Clockwork, Curses and Coal: Steampunk and Gaslamp Fairy Tales.
This is the second anthology in my Punked Up Fairy Tales series and since the first book in the series was very well-received I put a lot of pressure on myself to really get this one right too. And I think I did.
I’m proud of this line-up and I think fans of steampunk and fairy tales are really going to love this one. I know I do 🙂
Fairies threaten the world of artifice and technology, forcing the royal family to solve a riddle to stop their world from irrevocable change; a dishonest merchant uses automatons as vessels for his secrets and lies; a woman discovers the secret of three princesses whose shoes get scuffed while they sleep. These and so many other steampunk and gaslamp fairy tales await within the pages of Clockwork, Curses and Coal.
Retellings of Hansel and Gretel, The Princess and the Pea, Pinocchio, The Twelve Dancing Princesses and more are all showcased alongside some original fairy tale-like stories. Featuring stories by Melissa Bobe, Adam Brekenridge, Beth Cato, MLD Curelas, Joseph Halden, Reese Hogan, Diana Hurlburt, Christina Johnson, Alethea Kontis, Lex T. Lindsay, Wendy Nikel, Brian Trent, Laura VanArendonk Baugh and Sarah Van Goethem.
