Steampunk Fiction | Caffeine Nights Books

Step into a world of clockwork contraptions, Victorian intrigue, and boundless invention. Caffeine Nights Books publishes steampunk fiction that is bold, witty, and richly imagined — stories set at the crossroads of history and imagination, where the past is reimagined with audacity and flair.

Authors & Voices

Paul Eccentric is the driving force of the Caffeine Nights steampunk catalogue. His Periwinkle Perspective series — a six-volume hexalogy spanning The Giant Step, Those Among Us, The Story Untold, For All We Know, The Brotherhood of Man, and What We Leave Behind — is a seamlessly constructed world of Victorian adventure, sharp wit, and genuine invention. His Gin Wars series, beginning with The Pull of Penhalligan's Pier, extends that universe with the same irresistible blend of period atmosphere and eccentric charm. If you are new to steampunk, Paul Eccentric is the ideal starting point.

Colin Edmonds brings a different flavour to the genre with The Curiosity Collection — a series of richly imagined mysteries featuring daring heroes and the irresistible pull of the unknown. Titles include Steam, Smoke & Mirrors, The Windsor Curiosity, The Lazarus Curiosity, The Nostradamus Curiosity, and The Magister Curiosity. Edmonds writes with precision and warmth, crafting worlds that reward careful readers.
