A collection of literary short fiction that combines, fantasy, science fiction and horror in vivid settings, peopled with ordinary humans with normal relationships, and the interaction of the mundane with the fantastic.
World Fantasy award-winner Ian MacLeod creates an England that is recognisable yet entirely different in this novel of an Industrial Revolution fuelled by magic. He tells the story of an age through the eyes of one man and those he comes into contact with, and of things and people strange and wonderful.
