On his blog<\/a>, Jeff Vandermeer released a rough of the cover to his (co-edited with his wife Ann) forthcoming anthology Steampunk<\/span>. Contributors include Michael Moorcock, Joe R. Lansdale, Neal Stephenson, Michael Chabon, Mary Gentle, and others. Actually one of the others happens to me. I’ve contributed an essay about pop culture and steampunk. <\/p>\n

\nI’m jazzed about this book. Especially after seeing the cover and the people that are in the anthology. The piece I most look forward to is Jess Nevin’s "The Nineteenth Century Roots of Steampunk." For the uninitiated, Jess produced the two amazing League of Extraordinary Gentleman<\/span> companions (Heroes and Monsters<\/span><\/a> and A Blazing World<\/span><\/a>) plus the incredible The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana<\/span><\/a>. Needless to say, Jess knows his stuff. <\/p>\n

Look for the book in May, 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
