Steampunk'd
ByPublisher Description
Steampunk can be defined as a subgenre of science fiction that is typically set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian setting, where steam power is prevalent. Consider the slogan: "What the past would look like if the future had come along earlier." The stories in this all-original anthology explore alternate timelines and have been set all over the world, running the gamut from science fiction to mystery to horror to a melding of these genres.

“I bought this on impulse. I like steampunk as a genre, I like how it is becoming more popular. Here is a collection of short stories, so it aught to be really good. I was both surprised and let down at the same time. Some of the stories in this book are masterly crafted, the action flows well, the imagry is amazing, but there are also stories that fall short. Really short. One even seems to use the ultimate weak author tool of 'Deus Ex Machina' to bring their story to a close. Out of all the stories in this book, there are maybe two to three that I would say I truely enjoyed and made me continue to turn pages as I read. The rest...well...at least they are SHORT stories. If you love the steampunk genre, pick this book up. Perhaps you will enjoy it more than I did. I mean, I gave this better than a half rating, so I did enjoy it more than average. Take it as you will.”
