Steam, clockwork and difference engines — plus the eldritch things that thrive in the smog. A detective story in a gaslamp fantasy world.

An otherworldly traveler lands in an age of steam power and difference engines, where gears and clockwork promise civilization's future — and the occult never left the shadows. The author's signature 'guaranteed completion' brand makes this a safe long-binge.
