A series of short stories and novellas by Elizabeth Bear, covering the years between 1898 and 1962 in the life of vampire detective Don Sebastien de Ulloa. The works are set in a world much like ours, except supernatural things are real and -- because magic leveled the playing field -- Europeans were never able to settle the Americas beyond the coastal areas, meaning there are colonies instead of the United States for most of the books. The four volumes in the series as of June 2012 are: A final volume collecting short stories from the series is expected in 2013.

  • A series of short stories and novellas by Elizabeth Bear, covering the years between 1898 and 1962 in the life of vampire detective Don Sebastien de Ulloa. The works are set in a world much like ours, except supernatural things are real and -- because magic leveled the playing field -- Europeans were never able to settle the Americas beyond the coastal areas, meaning there are colonies instead of the United States for most of the books. The four volumes in the series as of June 2012 are: * New Amsterdam (May 2007, Subterranean Press): Sebastien and his court leave England for the British colonies in the Americas, only to find things really aren't any simpler there. * Seven for a Secret (novella) (March 2009, Subterranean Press): Lady Abigail Irene Garrett lives her last days in a WWII-era London, while Sebastien deals with werewolves. * The White City (novella) (2011, Subterranean Press): Fleeing a tragedy, Sebastien, Abby Irene and Phoebe Smith land in 1902 Moscow, where an old mystery is resurrected. While this book was published after Seven for a Secret, it is set before it. * ad eternum (novella) (2012, Subterranean Press): Sebastien returns to New Amsterdam in 1962. A final volume collecting short stories from the series is expected in 2013.
