Ether Frolics

A collection of nine tales drawn from the archives of the Etheric Explorers Club, a Victorian society dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the etheric realm: the visions of a Russian painter in fin-de-siècle Paris… a terrible weapon that almost no-one has survived… a confession within a confession… a crime from antiquity resurfacing beneath the Thames… a desperate search for a lost sister… a contemporary horror entwined with an ancient manuscript… an experiment gone wrong… a lost world which should have remained lost… and a night of dining, death, and romance.

“This collection of nine short stories is a true jaw-dropping jewel of a book…”
-Aly Grauer, Doctor Fantastique’s Show of Wonders

“Paul Marlowe has once again written a fine story, but this time he has done it nine times over… I highly recommend Ether Frolics… you will be so enthralled your tea will go cold!”
-Lee Ann Farruga, Steampunk Canada
