Steampunk II: Steampunk Reloaded by Jeff VanderMeer, Ann VanderMeer

3.0

I'm giving this collection three stars because I had mixed reaction to the stories. Some pieces I loved, while others felt bogged down by the prose. My particular favorites were "The Anachronist's Cookbook" by Catherynne Valente, "The Unbecoming of Virgil Smythe" by Ramsey Shehadeh, and Sydney Padua's comic about Ada Lovelace and Lord Byron (which is also online: http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/lovelace-the-origin-2/).
