Author Description

Curiosities is a thrice annual publication of speculative short fiction in the retropunk subgenres. We've saved our darkest stories for the darkest months of the year. In this volume you will meet clockwork children, demonic doppelgangers, doomed gunslingers, skeletal servitors, infected flappers, haunted roadhouses, and maybe glimpse at Old Scratch himself. Come, sit close to the fire and explore our winter exhibits of horror and dread.
