Cat Rambo is endlessly innovative, ingenious, and just plain entertaining. Read her stories.

Each one of Cat Rambo's steampunk stories stands solidly on its own, but as a collection, these stories click together like cogs to depict a complicated, curious alternate Earth filled with magic, technology, and mayhem.

Ms. Rambo is a very talented crafter of environments and she creates great premises for her stories. I also like that the stories in this collection explore some characters that are somewhat rare in SFF (although getting more exposure with every passing day) like non-whites, trans folks, and others on the LGBT spectrum.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed “The Wild, Wild West” and other steampunk stories.

A funny, touching, richly imagined collection of a fantastic past in which monsters of folklore mix with dreams of science.

Rambo has a gift for immersing her reader into a vivid universe full of adventure, sensuality, wit, and poignant observation.

This collection immersed me in an alternate Earth with a war going on in America and suffragettes; filled with magic and supernatural creatures, technology and fine inventions, adventures, sassy characters and girl power.

A sparkling collection from one of the brightest talents in the field.

I really enjoyed this collection of stories. The world-building was consistent from one story to another, but each of them foregrounded a different facet, with characters ranging from inventor to necromantic engineer to Civil War veteran or housemaid, among others. I was surprised at the range of fantastic included here (vampires, shape-shifters and fairies don't often come to mind when I think of steampunk), but Cat Rambo makes it interesting
