y Queen Victoria's Book of Spells : An Anthology of Gaslamp Fantasy Ellen Datlow (editor), Terri Windling (editor), New York (City) : Tor , 2013 Z1916935 2013 anthology short story fantasy horror Abstract 'Queen Victoria's Book of Spells is an anthology for everyone who loves these works of neo-Victorian fiction, and wishes to explore the wide variety of ways that modern fantasists are using nineteenth-century settings, characters, and themes. These approaches stretch from steampunk fiction to the Austen-and-Trollope inspired works that some critics call Fantasy of Manners, all of which fit under the larger umbrella of Gaslamp Fantasy. The result is eighteen stories by experts from the fantasy, horror, mainstream, and young adult fields, including both bestselling writers and exciting new talents such as Elizabeth Bear, James Blaylock, Jeffrey Ford, Ellen Kushner, Tanith Lee, Gregory Maguire, Delia Sherman, Catherynne M. Valente [and Kaaron Warren], who present a bewitching vision of a nineteenth century invested (or cursed!) with magic.
