Macallister Fogg is a series of short comedic steampunk adventures by Mark Hodder, all three books published in 2013. The series follows the titular detective through a Victorian England populated with bizarre machinery, eccentric characters, and absurd situations. The tone is lighter than Hodder’s main Burton and Swinburne series, leaning into humour and wordplay alongside the mystery plots.

The three stories, The Master Mummer’s Mummy, Great Great Great (And So Forth) Uncle Dragoslav, and The Hetrodythermaline Highwayman, are short and can be read quickly. They are available as ebooks through Amazon and work well as companion pieces to Hodder’s other steampunk writing.

Readers who enjoy the Victorian setting and light touch of the series may want to explore Hodder’s longer works in the Burton and Swinburne universe, which deal with similar themes in greater depth. All three books are listed in the reading order table below.
