Steampunk 101

Anno Dracula by Kim NewmanSteampunk 101: From Sci-Fi Sub-genre to Cultural Phenomenon: The creation of the ‘steampunk’ term is usually attributed to the science fiction author K.W. Jeter, who used it in a letter to Locus Magazine. He was trying to find a way to describe Victorian fantasy novels like those written by himself (Morlock Night and Infernal Devices), Tim Powers (The Anubis Gates) and James Blaylock (Homunculus).
