The Steampunk Anthology

Now updated! Apparently the demand is such that they’ve pushed the deadline back a day, just for Brass Goggles readers.

Quickly! Do you want a collection of of Steampunk tales from some of the best authors in the business? Do you seek tales of metal men, corsets aplenty and more cogs than you can shake a tesla-cane at? Perhaps you’d like it discounted and personally ‘blimped’ by the editors, Ann and Jeff Vandermeer? Then you want a copy of the Steampunk Anthology!

Then haste ye to to your aethermail and Paypal those hard working souls (vanderworld at hotmail.com) or email them (to reserve it) and then send a cheque to the address at their site. Until tomorrow Friday, it will set you back $12 in the US (with shipping), and various other reasonable sounding prices for Canada, Australia and Europe. Apparently they are working their fingers to the bone personalising every book ordered up to the 15th 16th of May with a little airship/zeppelin/blimp picture, just for you. If you don’t make it in time for the deadline, it’s still only $14.95 and there abouts.

The list of authors looks interesting but I was wondering - why are they all male?

I know there are good stories out there written by women but overlooked by the editors.

Listening to Escape Pod podcast stories, there are more than a few women authors playing with anachronistic storylines. One of my favorites is "Cinderella Suicide" by Samantha Henderson.

Perhaps the next anthology might try to include some of the very talented women writers out there.

Sweet! I was looking for a new read. I'm three quarters of the way through Oliver Twist and I need a little break from it.

But with the shipping, meh, it's cheaper for me to walk down to Chapters and pick up a copy, and I think I can draw a pretty good blimp. And apparently my local store has 2 copies in stock. Alright

Of course, in the run up to the Summer of Steampunk, I'll mention that Jeff's also contributed to an anthology of totally new and original steampunk stories, starring some award winning authors.
