Gaslamp Fantasy, or historical fantasy set in a magical version of the nineteenth century, has long been popular with readers and writers alike. A number of wonderful fantasy novels owe their inspiration to works by nineteenth-century writers ranging from Jane Austen, the Bront s, and George Meredith to Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and William Morris. And, of course, the entire steampunk genre and subculture owes more than a little to literature inspired by this period.

Queen Victoria's Book of Spells is an anthology for everyone who loves these works of neo-Victorian fiction, and wishes to explore the wide variety of ways that modern fantasists are using nineteenth-century settings, characters, and themes. These approaches stretch from steampunk fiction to the Austen-and-Trollope inspired works that some critics call Fantasy of Manners, all of which fit under the larger umbrella of Gaslamp Fantasy. The result is eighteen stories by experts from the fantasy, horror, mainstream, and young adult fields, including both bestselling writers and exciting new talents such as Elizabeth Bear, James Blaylock, Jeffrey Ford, Ellen Kushner, Tanith Lee, Gregory Maguire, Delia Sherman, and Catherynne M. Valente, who present a bewitching vision of a nineteenth century invested (or cursed ) with magic.

Great for your teeth and breath
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Purchased this brand because it claimed to have no aspartame and was 100% xylitol. Xylitol is claimed to be a teeth remineralizer and I want fresh breath without all of the sugar. These are a nice, mild mint. Some mint gums make your eyes water they are so strong, this is definitely a nice range for me- did not make my eyes water but does give you nice breath. Flavor lasts a long time. I like it and I like that the pouch is resealable for carrying or the little chiclet style pieces can be placed in an aesthetic tin in your bag for on the go.

Perfect Keto-Friendly Gum, Clean Ingredients & Great Flavor!
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried so many sugar-free gums, and this is by far the best option for anyone following a keto or strict carnivore lifestyle. It’s aspartame-free, has clean ingredients, and doesn’t leave that artificial aftertaste that most gums have. The spearmint flavor is fresh and long-lasting, and I love that it helps satisfy cravings without adding sugar or unnecessary carbs. The texture stays soft longer than other brands, and the resealable bag is super convenient for keeping in the car, gym bag, or at work. If you’re looking for a healthier gum that fits perfectly into a low-carb, keto, or carnivore-focused routine, this is definitely the one to buy. Four stars only because the flavor only lasts about a minute.

Good alternative to traditional gums- no aspartame no artificial coloring.

Love this gum, no aspartame, no artificial coloring and good taste, you get used to chewing it for a long time, the taste goes away little faster than traditional gums but I don't care

Great Xylitol Chewing Gum!
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 3), Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 3)
This review is for PUR Gum | Aspartame Free Chewing Gum | 100% Xylitol | Natural Spearmint Flavored Gum, 55 Pieces (Pack of 3). I got 2 of the 3-pack at the time because it was cheaper to do so than to get a 6-pack. Of course, the next day the 6-pack was cheaper lol. Anyway, this is great xylitol gum and not overly expensive like Zellie’s. I take 2 (which is one serving meaning 2g of xylitol) after “most” meals because it’s supposed to be good for my oral health. I chew one piece at a time for a couple minutes to prolong the sweet flavor instead of popping both into my mouth together. I like chewing these because they don’t harden up like some gums do. They stay soft throughout and I often forget and chew them for 15-20 minutes at a time. Anyway, I did the math and compared the PUR gum to other 100% xylitol gums out there and this one was a clear winner to me for the same benefits. I would totally recommend this gum and I like that it’s aspartame free! I’d give it a 5.0/5.0 - 03/20/2026.

Great taste but cannot use
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
First time trying for dental care. Really enjoy the taste only drawback taste doesn’t last long. However, it’s better than other sugar substitutes which my stomach does not like. Glad I signed up for the three pack sub. Great product! Recommend. May 16, 2026 Update: Unfortunately I cannot use this product after the initial trial every time I chew on these i experience stomach issues so the three pack I purchased will need to find someone that can use them or throw out.
