Steampunk World
There's something compelling about the shine of clicking brass clockwork and hiss of steam-driven automatons. But there was something missing. It was easy to find excellent stories of American and British citizens... but we rarely got to see steampunk from the point of view of the rest of the world. Until now. Steampunk World is a showcase for nineteen authors to flip the levers and start the pistons and invite you to experience the entirety of steampunk.

A long-established cultural practice with roots in Aboriginal Australia, Africa, and Papua New Guinea, scarification is gaining new adherents, as body modifications such as piercing become widely accepted.

Miss Lulu Bett
The Deacons were at supper. In the middle of the table was a small appealing tulip plant looking as anything would look whose sun was a gas jet. This gas jet was high above the table and flared with a sound.
A Curious History of Sex
This is not a comprehensive study of every sexual quirk, kink and ritual across all cultures throughout time, as that would entail writing an encyclopaedia. Rather, this is a drop in the ocean, a paddle in the shallow end of sex history, but I hope you will get pleasantly wet nonetheless. The act of sex has not changed since people first worked out what went where, but the ways in which society dictates how sex is culturally understood and performed have varied significantly through the ages. Humans are the only creatures that stigmatise particular sexual practices, and sex remains a deeply divisive issue around the world. Attitudes will change and grow – hopefully for the better – but s...
