GEIST: PRELUDE by FallonONeill0

A SYMPHONY BEGINS Midway through the dull, grey journey of college, Victor Roland, a high-functioning autistic, is dragged into his own world of sword and steam. Here, the year is 1884, by Imperial reckoning. In the shadows of its cathedrals, a series of grisly murders sweep the metropolis of Holy Gothica. Soon after his descent, Victor learns of portals in televisions, where daemons lurk in an abyss shrouded in fog, and emerge when blackouts wrack the city. But when he discovers that his friends from "reality" -- Charles Garner, a middle-aged "connoisseur of cannabis," and, Beatrice Morrison, a biker with a goth streak -- are trapped in here, Victor resolves to find them, lest they wind up kidnapped by, "the Dollmaker," and slaughtered behind the screens. Fortunately, Victor awakens to the power of Geist -- the power to summon a living facet of his own psyche, to battle the evil born of everyone's souls. A power that earns him a chance to find his dear friends, and perhaps even a way home ... Whimsical, humorous yet terrifying, Geist: Prelude will hold readers long into the night, and pave the road for a trilogy of gothic fantasy and dystopia.

Green Unpleasant Land by Matt01344

Short Synopsis Green Unpleasant Land Fog shrouded Victorian London, but not the 1888 we'd recognise. There's a whiff of revolution in the air, not to mention lycanthropy in the shires. As Mr Eiffel's tower nears completion in Hyde Park, famed Egyptologist Sir Percy Tiverton returns with his latest find - a nameless book so mysterious not even the Royal College of Alchemists can decipher its runes. Alexander Faversham is England's foremost champion of derring-do, but his legend is built on sand. Loyal-to-a-fault manservant Bill might know more about his master's heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill's entanglement threatens to bring his carefully constructed façade crashing down. There's something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its book back. Who would dare confront the tentacles slithering from the sewers? When the Empire needs a hero, it doesn't always get the one it expects. 80k words Gothic/Cosmic Horror/Alt History

The Divine Armor of the Old Century（Book 3） by lingpeng216

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.

The World Of Steam by TomasBalciunas

London, 2068. This is my personal account of the events that had happened. A crisis had taken over the entire world. Gas. Steam. It was the industrial revolution all over again. War machines were powered by gas furnaces. Cars ran on coal. It was choking us. Slowly killing us. I could not breathe, the only thing that my tongue could taste was charcoal and ammonia. I realised that I had to do something about the situation that I was in, lest I die a slow and horrible death. No. It wasn't just me. 18 million lives were at stake. Time was against me. But then again...when was time ever my friend?
