What is Gaslamp Fantasy?
Gaslamp Fantasy is historical fantasy fiction that:
is set during the Regency Era or the years of the reign of Queen Victoria (1811 - 1901)
is usually (but not exclusively) set in England or one of the British colonies
may be similar to Gothic literature (ie: Dracula, Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe)
has supernatural elements and some form of magic
sometimes focuses on class, manners, romance, etc. (in the style of Jane Austen)

Location: Dallas, Texas | Happy to see a new reading challenge and this one looks interesting! It's not showing on the RYO page however. Do you have it set to private? If not, I'll have to get whargoul to look at it.

I read Charlie N Holmberg's Paper Magician series over the holidays and really enjoyed it; those books would certainly fit this challenge.

Location: The Wilds of Washington | A new book got added that will fit with this challenge: The Fifth Heart. Sherlock himself is in it. It's by Dan Simmons so it's a long read.
