This is a reissue of the first major YA steampunk anthology; fourteen top storytellers push the genre’s mix of sci-fi, fantasy, history, and adventure in fascinating new directions. Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Here, fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the steampunk genre’s established themes and refashion them in surprising ways and settings as diverse as Appalachia, Ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California. The result is an anthology that defies its genre even as it defines it. This is the first YA anthology to focus exclusively on steampunk; genre defining and genre defying – with steampunk settings as diverse as Canada, New Zealand, Wales, Ancient Rome, future Australia and alternate California. This title features a top contributor line-up and editors with established adult/YA/cult following. This title includes a B-format edition of this first-rate literary sci-fi/fantasy with crossover appeal.

You must see these! Such a simple idea with such an utterly hilarious result – take two saggy, baggy, dotty old grannies with zimmer frames, wind up their clockwork and race em! Unfortunately real old grannies don’t tend to like that (so they say – have you seen how fast they move on pension day?) so try these clockwork plastic grannies instead.

Ducky covers both FM and AM wavebands so you might like to tune in to Handel’s Water Music (Classic FM), “Yellow Submarine” (AM golden oldies station) or perhaps “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” (that may have more to do with the result of eating baked beans though).
