Do You Love Steampunk?

We know it, we love it, but for those of you who don't know, Steampunk is defined by the urban dictionary as "a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes."



So here are some of the great Steampunk Novels currently available at the Booth & Dimock Memorial Library:
