Jeff Vandermeer has announced that Steampunk III – Steampunk Revolution will be coming out later in the year.
I have the previous two volumes and the Steampunk Bible, so this will probably be a Christmas present for me.
Ann Vandermeer’s got the table of contents nailed down as well. I note a couple of Australians as well as a fairly gender balanced set of contributors.
