Kickstarter We Love: Return to the Asylum
After the success of the first volume of this steampunk anthology, Accent UK are back with a new collection of stories inspired by the attendees of the Uk’s Asylum Steam Punk event. While this may sound like a book that only appeals to those in the steam punk community, this is worth checking out thanks to some fantastic stories from small press stars, Gustavo Vargas (Trujilo, L1MA), Dean Beattie (Random Trials) and Ian Ashcroft (Kia Wordsmith) alongside Accent regular Gary Crutchley (WesternNoir). Vargas’ story is a Mad Max style all action adventure which perfectly suits his high energy style. While Ashcroft creates a story for the Lovecraftian Dr Squid adventure and Beattie creates a really fun story for the previous campaign’s Senior Principal Engineer of Steam backers.
So whether you love your steampunk or just are looking for an eclectic slice of small press stories then be sure to check this one out.

Thanks very much for mentioning the campaign. We had an advance limited edition available at this weekend’s Asylum Festival where it was very well received, almost selling out and generating a lot of excitement amongst those featured, including this year’s Wasteland (US) gig headliner’s V2A!
Accent UK sadly won’t be at Thought Bubble this year (we were already committed to an event in Copenhagen before TB announced their new dates), so the Kickstarter may be your best way if securing a copy
