Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories by Kelly Link
3.0
"Some Unfortunate Future Day" by Cassandra Clare
I liked this one, in a way it felt kind of horror-ish cos the girl turns a creepy in the end.
"The Last Ride of the Glory Girls" by Libba Bray
This one was good too, but for me it did not really work as a short story, I had too many questions about the world. Where were they?
"Clockwork Fagin" by Cory Doctorow
Oliver Twist and steampunk..eh, no this was kind of boring.
"Seven Days Beset by Demons" by Shawn Cheng
A graphic short, was not that fun either but it was over fast.
"Hand in Glove" by Ysabeau S. Wilce
I was not that into this story, it just did not pull me in.
"Ghost of Cwmlech Manor" by Delia Sherman
This one was kind of nice
"Gethsemane" by Elizabeth Knox
I got all confused by this one, it had potential but it just ost me along the way
"The Summer People" by Kelly Link
I liked this one but at the same time I was disappointed cos it certainly was not steampunk
"Peace in Our Time" by Garth Nix
I was a bit what? It had promise...but needed more
"Nowhere Fast" by Christopher Rowe
Post-apocalyptic...what does that has to do with steampunk?
"Finishing School" by Kathleen Jennings
Graphic short, did not like it
"Steam Girl" by Dylan Horrocks
Ok the only steamunk here was in a story a girl told, does not work for me either.
"Everything Amiable and Obliging" by Holly Black
This one was the best one of the bunch.
"The Oracle Engine" by M.T. Anderson.
....I skimmed and skimmed. Boring
