Edited by Jack Dann (World Fantasy Award-winning co-editor of Dreaming Down Under) and Nick Gevers (acclaimed editor and book reviewer), Ghosts by Gaslight is a showcase collection of all-new stories of steampunk and supernatural suspense by modern masters of horror, fantasy, sf, and the paranormal. An absolutely mind-boggling gathering of some of today’s very best dark storytellers—including Peter Beagle, James Morrow, Sean Williams, Gene Wolfe, Garth Nix, Marly Youmans, Jeffery Ford, and Robert Silverberg—Ghosts by Gaslight offers chilling gothic and spectral tales in a delightfully twisted Victorian and Edwardian vein. Think Henry James’s Turn of the Screw and Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a decidedly steampunk edge, and you’re ready to confront Ghosts by Gaslight.

Industry Reviews

"[A] collection of the eerie and fantastic."--Washington Post Ghosts By Gaslight is a triumph of a themed anthology. Among the hundred or so books I have read this year, this one is my favorite. Acquire it at all costs. Highly recommended.--Cemetery Dance Magazine [A] collection of the eerie and fantastic. --Washington Post" Devotees of M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood will relish this superior anthology of original stories . It seems almost unfair to single out individual works when all 18 are superb and will be cherished by steampunk and horror fans alike. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)" Seventeen all-new tales emulating, or re-creating, the ambience of classic Victorian supernatural suspense....impressive work....more than a mere exercise in nostalgia."--Kirkus Reviews "Devotees of M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood will relish this superior anthology of original stories.... It seems almost unfair to single out individual works when all 18 are superb and will be cherished by steampunk and horror fans alike."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
