Gaslamp fantasy is often confused with steampunk, but they're not quite the same. While both genres share a love for the Victorian era, gaslamp fantasy focuses more on the fantastical elements, like magic and mythical creatures. It's like taking a stroll through a foggy London street and stumbling upon a hidden world of wizards and fairies. Think of it as a whimsical blend of fantasy, history, and a touch of that good ol' British charm.
