About this product
Product Information
Gentle Readers, after the outraged letters following our first volume, I would be remiss not to warn you. The handsome tome of classic and original fiction, nonfiction, and illustrations is perhaps even more shocking than its predecessor. And yet, I see that your curiosity is piqued, so.... Enter the Scintillating Clockpunk Gear-o-Torium: Herein dwell the breathless adventures that you secretly seek. Gaze upon the rebellious Mecha-Ostrich, the seductive Steam Dancer, the intrepid Mssrs. Balfour and Meriwether, and the hithertofore undefeated Cast-Iron Kid. Experience the Delights of the Chrononaut Odditorium: An esteemed panel of self-appointed experts, under pain of ridicule, will reveal Top Secret Historical Enticements. Be dazzled by the first English translation of the quintessential Steampunk story 'Flying Fish Prometheus' by Vilhelm Bergsoe. Oooh and Ahhh at the Subculture Contraptor Lounge: Authoress of the Parasol Protectorate Gail Carriger gaily holds forth on the fashionable

"Though it may be the brass's flash that first attracts readers, it's the grime and verdigris that makes the stories, and this anthology, so compelling." -- Time Out Chicago, The dynamic VanderMeers follow 2008's Steampunk with this engaging anthology of 23 stories (three original to this volume, including Jeffrey Ford's #145;Dr. Lash Remembers'), two essays (including one by Gail Carriger), and a roundtable interview, all of which define, deepen, and demonstrate the clockwork beauty of automaton-laden science fiction. Standouts include Tanith Lee's madness-inspired #145;The Persecution Machine'; Caitlín R. Kiernan's hauntingly beautiful tale of #145;The Steam Dancer (1896)'; Marc Laidlaw's photographic encyclopedia of #145;Great Breakthroughs in Darkness'; Sydney Padua's comic #145;Lovelace and Babbage: Origins, with Salamander'; the frightening Pinocchio of Cherie Priest's #145;Tanglefoot'; William Gibson's proto-steampunk tale #145;The Gernsback Continuum'; and #145;Flying Fish Prometheus (A Fantasy of the Future)' by Vilhelm Bergsøe, a Danish contemporary of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Fabulous interior design by John Coulthart completes this worthy sequel to its well-regarded predecessor." — Publishers Weekly , starred review Steampunk is a genre for thinkers, and this book proves the point. The stories inside are beautiful, often lyrical, frequently disturbing, always exciting, and occasionally even funny, but they're also dense, literary, and trusting of the reader to be smart enough to #145;get' it." — New York Journal of Books Steampunk fans will want to add this to their personal collections; libraries owning the first volume should round out their holdings." — Library Journal The VanderMeers have, once again, captured the essence of the genre.... This book is a must-have collection for fans of steampunk and those who love a dark, rousing tale of what could have been." — Tangent "This new collection of previously published stories spotlights some of the best short work in the subgenre." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "All stories contained in the anthology Steampunk collected by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer are of high quality . . . Recommended for those who enjoy steampunk and those who want a diverse exposure to the possibilities within steampunk." —www.sfrevu.com, "This new collection of previously published stories spotlights some of the best short work in the subgenre." — San Francisco Chronicle, "Of all speculative fiction's sub-genres, steampunk is proving to be among the most popular and influential . . . Ann and Jeff VanderMeer have gathered many of the gnarliest examples of the genre in their Steampunk anthology." —Manchester Guardian Books Blog, "A wonderful addition to any collection--rich and varied enough to continually offer new ideas, new takes on oldies but goodies, and intense excitement and adventure in myriad styles. The book feels fresh, new, and at the same time, like it should have been actually produced at the time it's set in." --New York Journal of Books, "The dynamic VanderMeers follow 2008's Steampunk with this engaging anthology of 23 stories (three original to this volume, including Jeffrey Ford's 'Dr. Lash Remembers'), two essays (including one by Gail Carriger), and a roundtable interview, all of which define, deepen, and demonstrate the clockwork beauty of automaton-laden science fiction.

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!
