Romanian Steampunk

Steampunk picked a lot of speed lately and became one of the speculative fiction’s most fashionable subgenres. For once, the Romanian speculative fiction market is keeping the pace with the trend of the larger market and brings into play an all Romanian anthology dedicated to the steampunk subgenre. Once again the publishing house promoting the local speculative fiction is Millennium Books, whose work in the field deserves all the best things it can get. The anthology edited by Adrian Crăciun, “Steampunk: A Doua Revoluție” (Steampunk: The Second Revolution), benefits also from the graphical masterwork of Edward Miller, having a beautiful and very suggestive cover. Here is the complete line-up of the “Steampunk: The Second Revolution”:
