Steampunk III

"Steampunk isn't just about Victorians playing with cogs and gears; these stories (and a few essays) reveal some of the latest steps in this branch of speculative fiction's evolution." --Shelf Awareness "VanderMeer's follow-up to previous similarly themed anthologies targets established fans of the retro-infatuated steampunk movement." --Publishers Weekly "This third volume of the acclaimed Steampunk anthology series features an international cast of authors and a revolutionary take on the wonders of Steam. As steampunk continues to gain in popularity, these new tales and fresh tropes from established steampunk storytellers and new exciting talents reconcile Victorian pleasantries with passionate ideologies, reinvigorating the genre." --Books World "Demonstrates the power of a well-orchestrated collection...a must-have for any fan of the subgenre." --Beyond Victoriana "The 27 stories gathered here are therefore noteworthy both because of their subject matter as well as for the way they stretch the stylistics of Steampunk in new and different directions." --Bookgasm "These stories have something everyone can enjoy." --SF Site "Steampunk III is a strong and sharp collection of writing. You don't have to be a fan of steampunk--or even really know what it is--to enjoy this work. In any case, it collects the writing of not only the sharpest, newest voices in steampunk, but also a great many who bring their authority to all types of explorative writing." --January Magazine
