I knew I had Whitechapel Gods by S. M. Peters waiting on hold for me at the library, so I waited until I could read it to read Steampunk Scholar’s review of it. I finally got through both of them, and this quote from the review stuck out to me: ”Despite some narrative missteps, S.M. […]
When I someday make my fabulous steampunk dream house, my doors are going to look like this: Via Curbly.
I’ve seen some pretty awesome things made of reclaimed materials – The Minister’s Treehouse, for example – but this one takes the cake for now: It’s a 12-meter-high mechanical elephant, made of 45 tons of reclaimed wood and steel.

I really, really meant to have a serious interesting post up sometime soon for you all, but instead, I give you this: If any of you follow the cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender, rest assured that the clusterf*ck that was the Last Airbender movie is being remedied by a new mini-series, featuring a girl waterbending […]
This long-awaited issue is our thickest yet, coming in at 118 pages of mad science, history, interviews, fashion, and fiction! It can also be downloaded for free from our downloads page.
Printed copies are available from Combustion Books.
BEFORE THE age of homogenization and micro-machinery, before the tyrannous efficiency of internal combustion and the domestication of electricity, lived beautiful, monstrous machines that lived and breathed and exploded unexpectedly at inconvenient moments.

SteamPunk Magazine is a publication that is dedicated to promoting steampunk as a culture, as more than a sub-category of fiction. It is a journal of fashion, music, misapplied technology and chaos. And fiction.
It just may be the most spectacular magazine to ever fight against the spectacle, and it is free. Or as cheap as we can possibly get it to you. Using the latest in Creative Commons technology, we undermine the fascism of copyright while protecting ourselves from direct co-option.
We sell the magazine for as close to cost as we can manage, and we offer it for free PDF download for printing at home.
