First published 2013
Merrimaus the gremlin opens doorways between worlds, leading readers through a Victorian realm where sorcery powers the machinery and monsters walk cobblestone streets. In this parallel universe, steam drives more than engines. It animates cats, powers armored knights, and fuels a society where vampires, werewolves, and zombies inhabit gaslit alleys. Merrimaus weaves between these interconnected tales, introducing magical beings and mechanical wonders that blur the line between fantasy and technology. The stories build toward a climactic adventure where Merrimaus herself becomes central to the action. This world embraces both medieval mysticism and industrial innovation, creating a realm darker than typical steampunk but rich with supernatural possibilities. Each tale Merrimaus shares reveals new corners of this steam-powered magical landscape, where Victorian sensibilities meet otherworldly forces.
