"Dirigible on my Mind": Steampunk Deals/Freebies + Discussion
Thanks to Crich70, I've become very interested in steampunk, so please park all your dirigibles in his garage.
![]() ![]() I just found a free magazine, located here: http://www.steampunkmagazine.com/downloads/ where some issues can be downloaded - but only in PDF. I know nothing about this magazine, but decided to download them and to check it out. If anyone else has any free bargains/deals, post here to help us out. |

Warehouse 13, also on Netflix, has a lot of steampunk tech, and, being contemporary, the characters occasionally refer to it as such

Yep. The Tardis itself could be said to be Steampunk as it is in the form of an old fashioned police box. I've lost track of how many gadgets the Dr. has built over the yrs for this or that adventure. I think that's part of what has kept his adventures coming for so long too.

If you happened to skip the tie-in story collections they were giving away, there's still two freebie shorts by the co-authors available. Only one of them is a steampunk, but the other is a zombie tale which should give you a taste of their style. Linkage for: Silver Linings (a Ministry mystery set in Egypt, according to the tags), Daddy's Little Girl (apocalyptic zombie short), free to all @ Smashwords And quite probably someone might be able to do the Kindle-lending thing so you could try any of the former freebies you missed out on if it turns out you're interested in reading more in that universe. Disclaimer: I have not read these particular books, or for that matter, anything from the authors yet (and if I did, that Shakespearean elf fantasy would be the one I tried first). But people do seem to like them a lot. More personal recommendation, since IIRC you love zombies as well as wanting to try out steampunk: Cherie Priest's (Wikipedia, ISFDB) imaginative and enjoyable Clockwork Century series, which combines them both in a western setting and keeps getting awards. (I read and quite liked the 1st novel in a Hugo Voter Packet and ended up buying it via a Humble Bundle later, so if you got HB's eBook Bundle #2 you might already own it; and I also individually purchased a novella when Weightless Books was having a sale. If you're morbidly curious, here's my vintage non-spoiler review of the 2nd novel in the What Are You Reading? thread in the RR forum a few years ago.) Not cheap, considering they're out from Tor, but there are tie-in novellas which are out from Subterranean Press and therefore couponable via Kobo, making the entire series available DRM-free.
