About the author
Jessica Augustsson
37 books25 followersJessica Augustsson is the editor-in-chief of JayHenge Publishing. She is a grammar nerd, eclipse chaser, part-time writer, and a bit of a geek. As the editor of spec-fic anthologies, most of her writing can be found nestled among the words of other authors, but she can’t help typing out a few of her own stories now and then. As for speculative fiction in her own life, she was voted by her Idaho high school class to be the most likely to go live on the moon; when she was 20, she moved to Sweden so she guesses that’s pretty close.

Phantasmical Contraptions & More Errors is an anthology of short stories featuring some sort of burgeoning technology edge, whether Steampunk, Biopunk, Cyberpunk or other. Some of my favorites:

A pill you can buy that will put you in touch with a higher level of creativity. Mel has been suffering from a creative block but is determined to write the perfect song for the love of her life.
Jade and Lace by Rose Strickman
Steampunk story with a wild west flare. Automatons and a jail break.
Jacked-In the Beanstalk by Arlen Feldman
Planting mysterious seeds gives life to a beanstalk that raises above the clouds. But once there Jack faces a super high-tech society that's not friendly at all.
Juliet Silver and the Sea of Prosperity by Wendy Nikel
This is a steampunk tale of air pirates and stolen goods.
Two Steps Forward by Holly Schofield
A stranger arrives at an old, dusty farm to enquire about the runaway, jazz-dancing, mechanical scarecrow the late farmer had created.
Kill Hitler Inc by Harry Whomersley
Professor Kim Murray has created a time travel machine without a higher moral purpose. The maiden voyage will test the stability of the timeline.
And the Gods Bowed Before Her by H.N. Hunt
