My Little Queer Steampunk Story Has Found a Home

M
I am very pleased to have my short steampunk-ish story, “The Flowers of the Devil’s Ring” published on Hyphen-Punk. It is a queer-identity-affirming story but also set in Victorian times, so content warning: it features prejudices of the period, though they do not win the day. It also showers some love on 19th-century evolutionary science, which is an area close to my heart and (sometimes) scholarship.

Thanks to Erik, JW, Dane, and Astro for the great help with edits.
