Another Steampunk project is up at Kickstarter, and this one is about an exhibit in a class of its own.When we manage to get it going it will be an instant classic. This is also one marvelous occasion for me to bemoan the fact that most exeptional Steampunk events seem to be going on on [...]

Once again I can rejoice in the fact of Steampunk being an international phenomenon. This time I may introduce you to a Steampunk fashion designer from Latvia, Anda Masque. I am delighted she got in touch with me. I am always looking for signs of the Steampunk subculture in the less obvious places, and I [...]

Who would have thought it… Just one more issue and we are 1/5th of the way to 100 issues. So, today, with a slight delay, issue 19 of the famed Gatehouse Gazette was released and the topic is Summer, quite fittingly. It is also the third anniversary issue of the Gatehouse Gazette. I particularly recommend [...]

John Glenn, a living legend, celebrates his 90th birthday today. In case you actually do not know who John Glenn is (please feel really ashamed): He is the first American to orbit the earth and also, and far more impressively, the oldest man ever to go into space.

Thus, quite a [...]

One of the greatest epics of the golden age of pulp sci-fi, John Carter of Mars, is coming to the Big Screen! Oh glorious cinematography! For some eldritch reasons the people making the movie have decided to skip the “of Mars” bit, though. Strange… “John Carter” as a movie title sounds so much like “Joe [...]

My friend Nancy Overbury recently posed this question over at her blog: Cthulhu Fans… What happened to all the Evil? A valid question and one that has come up within the Lovecraft Community on a number of occasions. Among others, Chad Fifer, Chris Lackey and Andrew Leman discussed this on the side once in an [...]

Just in, fresh from Lavie Tidhar and the Angry Robot blog! This is the cover of Lavie Tidhar’s third part of The Bookman Histories, The Great Game: But there is one slightly bitter taste to it: The novel will not be released until February 2012. Still quite a long time in the future. I can [...]

A few weeks back I posted the trailer of a splendid Steampunk movie from Italy here: The Technician. Here’s the trailer again: I got in touch with Luca Cerlini, the director and asked if he would be willing to give me an interview. He responded rather enthusiastically and it is with great pleasure I present [...]
I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
