@althistorian.bsky.socialHow about some steampunk in your #AlternateHistoween? In Boneshaker by Cherie Priest, the first of The Clockwork Century books, a mad scientist unleashes a vein of "blight gas" which makes 19th century Seattle basically uninhabitable and turns many of its residents into zombies!

@althistorian.bsky.socialA timeline where the British colonies failed, North America is balkanized (with Deseret, of course) and Austria-Hungary is an atomic armed superpower? Oh my!
Also there are ghosts.

@althistorian.bsky.socialWe need more zombies this #AlternateHistoween! In Dread Nation by Justina Ireland, a zombie outbreak during the American Civil War leads to the United States forcing black and indigenous children to attend combat schools in order to protect the white wealthy elite who are fleeing westward.

@althistorian.bsky.socialWhat if the Nazis had their own X-Men? You get the Milkweed Triptych by Ian Tregillis, which is today's featured work of #AlternateHistoween. But don't worry y'all. The British have warlocks who can summon eldritch beings from outer space to fight for them. So everything should turn out fine!!!

@althistorian.bsky.socialOne setting that fits perfectly with #AlternateHistoween is the world of Deadlands. A never ending civil war, zombies, evil spirits, magic, steampunk, mad science and gunslingers? Yeehaw!!! There's ghost rock in them thar hills.
