Throughout January, February has held a certain promise for me as so much Steampunk-flavoured media seems to have been announced or promised to me then. Now I know that it is only the 18th of the month, but already Gold Silver and Bronze have been awarded in the self-styled 'Steampunk All-Media Race'.
So here are the awards.
Gold (1st) place goes to Jeff & Ann VanderMeer's Steampunk anthology, which I procured from Waterstones on the 10th. It had been promised unto me as a Christmas present, but for some reason the shop cancelled the order so I had to wait until I could afford it myself. In any case the order wouldn't have arrived until some point in this month.
Silver (2nd) place goes to Vernian Process' Behold the Machine EP, released on Monsieur Verne's birthday, 8th February. Due to random erratic aether problems however I couldn't secure a copy of this wonderful album until the 11th.
Bronze (3rd) place goes to a surprise entry that hadn't been forseen, that being a Steampunk-and-science themed issue of The Chap magazine. It was released on the 14th of the month, but I didn't manage to get my copy until yesterday (February 17th).
So those are the awards already conferred. Still to come (hopefully) are:
-Steampunk Magazine issue 5 (expected around February 25th)
-Gatehouse Gazette (expected towards the very end of the month)
-Steampunk Spectacular episode VII (but that's just a flight of fancy considering episode VI was released in October and there's been nothing since to sugggest it's still operational).
