Annotation: This collection of fourteen tales (two of them comics) showcases not only great new steampunk stories, but some of the most talented YA writers publishing stories today.
Booktalk: So just what is Steampunk? Stories set in Victorian England or in “Wild West” America where steam power is king? Or is it just any science fiction story set in some recognizable historical period? Stories with airships? Goggles? Corsets?
Steampunk! showcases all this and more. Whether you’ve read Steampunk for years or are just getting started, you’ll find something to fascinate you, something to instill in you a sense of wonder. And don’t feel as if you’ll be trapped in either the Victorian era or the Wild West: some stories are set in the present and one's even set in Ancient Rome. (Plus two stories are in comic book form.) But the thing they all have in common: great, exciting stories filled with wonder.
