Steampunk books

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

In addition to the VanderMeer Steampunk reprint
anthology already mentioned in the current discussion,
I myself have an original steampunk anthology coming
out from Solaris in October: EXTRAORDINARY ENGINES.
All new stories from Kage Baker, Keith Brooke, Jeffrey
Ford, James Morrow, Ian R. MacLeod, Robert Reed, Jay
Lake, Adam Roberts, Marly Youmans, Jeff VanderMeer,
Margo Lanagan, and James Lovegrove.

For Wolfe fans, I'd recommend Jay Lake's steampunk
novel MAINSPRING--he's a big Wolfe admirer, and there
are certainly Wolfean echoes in the book.

Another steampunk epic worth reading is Brian
Stableford's Werewolves of London trilogy--lots of
metaphysics.
