Editorial Reviews

"Need help steaming up your Summer? The other day I made myself a cup of tea and sat down to read Thirty Days Later by Thinking Ink Press. I wasn't expecting this soirée of steam/clock infusion, and I soon found my tea turning cold and me turning the next page. Thirty Days Later is full of interesting diverse stories that will appeal to a wide variety of readers with sightings of Royals, ghosts, dragons, Japanese folklore, spies, and even a Sasquatch(?!)."

-- Rebecca Sky, literary reviewer for the Punkettes

If you like steampunk or speculative fiction set in the past, you will enjoy Thirty Days Later. It had an intriguing concept and I would love to see more creative anthologies like it in the future.

-- Amazing Stories

“This masterpiece contains fifteen pairs of short stories that take place thirty days apart. As someone who often finds myself getting hooked on a short story, and then being disappointed that it ended too soon, this book is perfect for me because I get to see what happens later.

While I enjoyed the works of authors whom I already recognized, such as AJ Sikes, Harry Turtledove, Katherine Morse and David Drake, I was really pleased to have the chance to discover some new ones. I was happy to discover that Some Time Later: Fantastic Voyages Through Alternate Worlds was also released by these creators. I look forward to reading that very soon.

I highly recommend Thirty Days Later: Steaming Forward: 30 Adventures in Time to fans of Steampunk fiction. Readers will not be disappointed!”
