Victorian Oddities and the Steampunk Fantasy StoryBundle!

February 18, 2023 By Kari Kilgore

Fantasy Steampunk Bundle

One of the frequent foundations in steampunk fiction—whether fantasy is included or not—is elements from the Victorian Era to go with the awesome gadgets and steam power and fashion.

One of my favorite things about the Victorian Era is how very strange it was.

Nowhere near as prim and proper as it seems on the surface.

You’ll find plenty of adventurous takes on steampunk, fantasy, and our fascinating inheritance from the Victorians in this StoryBundle. Read on for more about The Dream Thief and the other wonderful stories!

Aliens Among Us StoryBundle images

I couldn’t be happier to have my story Restricted Species included in the Aliens Among Us StoryBundle! My tale of the perils of galactic agriculture keeps fantastic company with a bunch of my favorite writers, all with a different fascinating take on aliens.

I’ll let our curator Dean Wesley Smith tell you a little more about Restricted Species, and be sure to click through to read more about all the wonderful stories you can grab for a great low price. Plenty of chances for your next alien-forward reading escape, but be sure to check it out before time runs out!

“In this short novel, Restricted Species, Kari Kilgore takes us to a xeno-farming planet. Amazing how many things can go wrong on a simple farming planet when aliens get into the mix. And Kari keeps us reading right to the last detail.”

Read on for more about how Restricted Species came to life in my imagination, and pick up the whole bundle to enjoy your visits with aliens in all these amazing stories!
