Under a Brass Moon: A Sci-Fi Steampunk Anthology

Under a Brass Moon: A Sci-Fi Steampunk Anthology By various authors including Jordan Elizabeth, G. Miki Hayden, James Wymore, Terri Karsten, W.K. Pomeroy, Ashley Pasco, Jeremy Mortis, Grant Eagar, Amberle L. Husbands, Benjamin Sperduto, D.J. Butler, Christine Baker, Lorna McDonald Czarnota, Perry McDonald, S.A. Larsen, Jessica Gunn, Lorna Marie Larson, and Nick Lofthouse. The stories all varied in scope but were all Steampunk and fun to read. If I had a corset and top hat I would have put it on and felt at home reading these stories. They had action, mystery, adventure, strange adventures, and just fun or weird stories. My favorite was just a love story, which is strange for me, I don't read romance, put this was different. It was the first story in the book. There is something for everyone in here. I received this book from NetGalley for a honest review.

Each of these stories is a jewel, as intricate as the clocks in the first story, with each part working together with the details to make it believable and interesting. I wish that the anthology had even more stories, since I didn't want it to end!

From time to time I need to exit the worlds of future sci fi and Lovecroftian horror and enter the kinder, gentler and exciting world of steampunk!

This is a really entertaining and enjoyable anthology of steampunk fantasy and sci fi. The stories are well-written, easy to follow and very approachable. You will feel the steam and lose yourself in alternate Victorian universes! A nice way to take your mind off your worries and leave our world behind! (Temporarily, of course.)

If you are just getting into steampunk, this is a nice start. And of course, if you're a fan, you will love this anthology. A really good read!
