Omschrijving
The promise and the threat of technology, of humankind replaced by its own mechanial creation has long enticed the SF and fantasy imagination. This fabulous mix of new and established writing brings together the top talents of today with the likes of Jerome K. Jerome, E.T.A. Hoffmann, L. Frank Baum and Ambrose Bierce.
"Flame Tree Publishing continues to publish excellent fiction with their Gothic Fantasy series of anthologies offering themed compendiums of both classic and modern fiction. By doing so, the series lets readers note similarity, differences and trends of subgenres over time."
"The new stories specially selected for the anthology are the ones that shine. The mixture of both is an excellent idea and I liked the biographical information at the back about the authors."
