Gaslamp Fantasy, or historical fantasy set in a magical version of the nineteenth century, has long been popular with readers and writers alike. A number of wonderful fantasy novels owe their inspiration to works by nineteenth-century writers ranging from Jane Austen, the Bront s, and George Meredith to Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and William Morris. And, of course, the entire steampunk genre and subculture owes more than a little to literature inspired by this period.

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, and Catherynne M. Valente, who present a bewitching vision of a nineteenth century invested (or cursed ) with magic.

good socks
Number of Items: 6, Color: Red Assorted (6-pairs), Size: Large
I like that they stay on pretty well. also liked the thickness - not too thin / not to thick. also i like that on the inside there are no random threads all over ... i found that to be a problem in similarly priced products from other major brands (and also the cheap options at costco also had that same issue). I've had them a few months and I think they'll last. *** 1 year Update *** Still great! I think they'll easily last me 2-3 yrs! Love how comfy they are. easy to pull on / off. nice colors. highly recommend. I bought some road runner sports socks for almost 5X the price at the same time i got these and while the road runner socks are pretty good for sports (they fit tighter so tend to stay on in active mode), i find these under armour socks much more comfy for daily wear.

Massive problems with timely shipping and delivery!!!
Color: Grey, Size: 8' Wide x 6'6" Tall
I have purchased three panels at $1300 plus each. The first two came very late, in one shipment; the third in a separate shipment. I have yet to receive the third, despite being present when shipping has twice said the business was closed. The first two were delivered almost a week late after numerous discussions (over four hours with Amazon support in online chat and phone) specifying there is NO WAY the business was closed as it is open 24/7. CAUTION. Further, the video is misleading. The panels are 70 pounds. A 5’2 athletic woman will most likely need assistance to balance and stabilize the panels. The magnetic buttons work IF you can get the panels aligned, which must be a two-person job for a petite individual due to the panel’s 8 foot height. Check reviews thoroughly for the stability feet which can be purchased separately; the recommended sets are plastic and not sturdy. Overall: BEWARE of shipping and delivery drama. Do not expect this product timely. Ensure two people are available if you are not tall. Recommend consideration for a different acoustic panel system. I will most likely be cancelling the panel I have not yet received. The expense is not worth the numerous issues. Good luck.
