Life and Death and All Points In Between.

Crows have seen it all, and though they haven’t always lived to tell the tale, still they play their part. We present ten tales inspired by the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, paying tribute to his undying fascination with mankind’s decaying state, both mental and physical.

In conjunction with the Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival, we bring you stories by:

Aaron Rosenberg * David Lee Summers * Judi Fleming * Dana Fraedrich * James Chambers * Jessica Lucci * Doc Coleman * Michelle D. Sonnier * Danielle Ackley-McPhail * Ef Deal

What secrets lay beneath Parisian Streets? And who will kill to keep them?

When a malfunctioning automaton runs full force into their locomotive on the new Paris-Orléans railway, Jacqueline Duval and her bohemian twin sister Angélique Laforge become embroiled in a mystery deeply rooted in their tragic past.

A polytech and famed engineering prodigy, Jacqueline is fascinated by the metal man, even more so when she discovers that it is powered not by steam, but by the supernatural. Her investigation puts the sisters on a path both dangerous and mysterious as they must foil a plot to employ the dead to power a mechanical army aimed at international conquest.

Aid comes from unexpected sources as the twins rush to avert this engineered war, but will they be in time?
