Review of 'Ghosts by gaslight' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
My favourites from this anthology. Ranked individually.
"The Iron Shroud" by James Morrow. Good, atmospheric, left questions. 3/5
"Music, When Soft Voices Die" by Peter S. Beagle. Just loved it. 5/5
"The Shaddowwes Box" by Terry Dowling. Pretty good, a little narrow. Only passingly steampunk in my opinion. 3/5
"The Curious Case of the Moondawn Daffodils" by Garth Nix. Very lovely story. 5/5
"The Jade Woman of the Luminous Star" by Sean Williams. Nice story, less Steampunk and more straight science fiction perhaps? 3/5
"Rose Street Attractors" by Lucius Shepard. Somewhat steampunk, as the supernatural elements are technologically influenced, and a good ghost story if a little unfinished. 3/5.
