Overview

What is Steampunk?

Steampunk is Victorian elegance and modern technology: steam-driven robots and space-faring zeppelins fueled by gaslight romance and mad scientists. Steampunk is trim corsets and brass goggles; The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Wizard of Oz, and The Golden Compass.

Curated by the World Fantasy award-winning team of Ann and Jeff Vandermeer, this riveting anthology lovingly collects classic steampunk stories, pop culture-fueled discussions of steampunk, and essential recommended reading lists for the discerning—or new—steampunk fan.
