Description
An anthology focusing on newer elements of steampunk, one which deconstructs the staples of the genre and expands on them, rather than simply repeating them, with a greater spread both in terms of location and character. This is steampunk with a modern, post-colonial sensibility.
Contributors include: Jeff VanderMeer, Caitlin Kiernan, Mary Robinette Kowal, Jay Lake, Cherie Priest, Cat Rambo, Catherynne M. Valente, Genevieve Valentine and many more.Reviews
It's a big book and does a grand job of presenting a wide and varied picture of steampunk - SF, romance, fantasy, fable, Victorian England, the Wild West, alternative empires and far future. There's something for everyone - SFCrowsnest
