'Queen Victoria's Book of Spells is an anthology for everyone who loves
these works of neo-Victorian fiction, and wishes to explore the wide
variety of ways that modern fantasists are using nineteenth-century
settings, characters, and themes. These approaches stretch from
steampunk fiction to the Austen-and-Trollope inspired works that some
critics call Fantasy of Manners, all of which fit under the larger
umbrella of Gaslamp Fantasy. The result is eighteen stories by experts
from the fantasy, horror, mainstream, and young adult fields, including
both bestselling writers and exciting new talents such as Elizabeth
Bear, James Blaylock, Jeffrey Ford, Ellen Kushner, Tanith Lee, Gregory
Maguire, Delia Sherman, Catherynne M. Valente [and Kaaron Warren], who present a bewitching vision of a nineteenth century invested (or cursed!) with magic.
