DeadSteam by Bryce Raffle & Leanna Renee Hieber &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Reader beware: to open this tome is to invite dread into your heart. Every page you turn will bring you closer to something wicked. And when the dead begin to rise from the steaming pits of hell, only then will you discover that it is already too late. Your life is forfeit.

 

Featuring an introduction by Leanna Renee Hieber, author of the Eterna Files and Strangely Beautiful saga, DeadSteam plays host to the scintillating writing of David Lee Summers (Owl Dance, The Brazen Shark), Jen Ponce (The Bazaar, Demon’s Cradle), Wendy Nikel (The Continuum), Karen J Carlisle (The Adventures of Viola Stewart), Jonah Buck (Carrion Safari), and more…

 

With seventeen chilling tales of dreadpunk, gaslamp, and dark steampunk, DeadSteam will leave you tearing at the pages, desperate for more. For within these pages, the dead rise from their graves to haunt the London Underground, witches whisper their incantations to the wind, a sisterhood of bitten necks hunts fog-drenched alleyways lit only by gaslight, and only one thing is certain: that dread will follow you until you turn that final page.

 

And that sinking feeling in the pit of your chest? That fear that something is following you, watching you, hunting you? It is not for nothing. Look over your shoulder, dear reader. Watch behind you. Listen to the whispers in the darkness.

 

But know this...it is all inevitable.

“I’ve never read dreadpunk, and I was immediately intrigued when the opportunity to read DeadSteamcame up. I’m glad I did! It put me right back into the Halloween mood. I’m having trouble picking a favorite short story, they were all great in their own right. I think some of these stories even deserve their own film novels. I definitely recommend checking these short stories out. They are chilling and an interesting blend of horror and steampunk. *I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.*”
“I was on the book cover reveal and trailer for Dead Steam, the trailer was unbelievable so I jumped at the chance to review it. Best Read When you want to get lost in a bygone era of steam trains, betrayal and horror. My Thoughts on the Book I must confess that I know very little about steampunk as a genre but I absolutely loved this book. The quirky takes are set in a Victorian time of séances, resuscitation of the dead, scientific discoveries, mayhem and murder. Each story is original and quirky and nothing is exactly as it seems in a dark and foggy city landscape. The collection has quite a number of vampire, I have a fondness for the fanged fiends so I thoroughly enjoyed these. My first foray into Dreadpunk and Steampunk was dark, confusing, consuming and it left with me an appetite for more.”
