The Dark Victorian: Risen is set in a steampunk London with magic and paranormal aspects. Jim, an agent of Prince Albert’s Secret Commission, is given a new partner: Artifice, a Quaker and artificial ghost (meaning that she can turn incorporeal at will).

I found this quite surprising. It was a strange tale and told well. There were parts were the story just rambled and certain bits could have been left out. But it was a good read and a great start to what could be a great series
I would read so much more in this series. I don't usually buy novellas, but I would buy a whole run of these. I absolutely love this world, and if anything, these prose novellas prove just how much I'm still in love with, and in awe of, the world that Watasin has created. It feels as slyly su...
When I picked up issue one of Charm school, I hadn't heard of a lot of things. Slave Labor Graphics. Elizabeth Watasin. Bunny, the good teenage witch, who had shown up in Action Girl Comics earlier. And here's where this review gets a bit autobiographical and kinda... weird. Or weird for...

Paranormal investigator Elle Black is asked to visit Sundark, a hotel/boarding house whose guests are disappearing with incredible regularity. Is there a murd...
It had the appeal of novelty; too rushed to be really gripping and fully satisfying, but overall entertaining. “The Dark Victorian” is a paranormal mystery with a hint at an f/f romance that may be developed in the next installments. The world is Steampunk-like : England is protected from Evil by ...
