STEAMPUNK! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories

Fourteen young adult authors push the envelope of steampunk to present tales that feature automatons, gadgets, dirigibles, brave teens, and all in fabulous, exotic locales (but never Victorian London). Listeners will be drawn deep into an alien frontier world, rural Virginia, Wales, ancient Rome, and more, and as each setting varies, so do the expert narrations. Listeners will enjoy hearing about the adventures of “Steam Girl,” fairies who hold their keeper with trinkets that grant wishes, and thieves who are able to stop time to rob trains. The only disappointment is that listeners are not treated to the text of the two graphic tales contained in the printed collection. J.M. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2012]
