When I first heard Guy Adams had published a weird west-steampunk-horror novel, the first of a trilogy no less, I simply had to get my hands on it. After reading The World House and Restoration, I thought it would be a safe bet The Good, The Bad and The Infernal would also be a great [...]

The first thing that struck me about Vintage Tomorrows was its size. Almost 400 pages of information on Steampunk, maker culture, counter-culture, history of the scene, events, and the list goes on. The authors James H. Carrott and Brian D. Johnson set out to discover the scene for themselves and take a very personal dive. [...]

I have been looking forward to reading The Age Atomic, ever since it was announced. After enjoying Empire State immensely, I was itching for the sequel, and this is what I found when I finally got it: The Age Atomic is set a number of years after Empire State, in 1954, but in the Empire [...]

I am so glad I finally got to see this movie. A little background information why I am so glad: I reside in Germany and Airlords of Airia is a German project. I have been in contact with the people behind the movie since the beginning and got an invitation to the premiere, but could [...]

The creativity within the music section of our scene really has no bounds. The other day I opened my ætherbox to find yet another message directing me to an album of a band I had thus far not heard of before. The band is Terrible Spaceship and the album (their debut) is Invasion 1938. So, [...]

The second series of Space: 1889 & Beyond continues with instalment two, Mundus Cerialis, and I have to say, it is disappointingly short. It was really good I had a lot of other things to do because otherwise I would have been through in about a day and a bit. The shortness is the only [...]

When I was invited to review Black Sun Reich I was most intrigued. Occultist Nazis scouting pre-Columbian ruins for ancient treasures sounded like fun in best Indiana Jones style. Especially since it was unapologetic Pulp/Dieselpunk. The first thing that struck me was the Newsreel Intro, nicely done. The world Black Sun Reich is set in [...]

When I am not dressed up all Steampunk, I wear a lot of black. I also have rather long hair, and a Norse tattoo. I guess you get the message I want to convey. My kind of music is not necessarily hip-hop, not necessarily in deed. The other day, I was contacted by none other [...]

Conspiracy of Silence, the first book in the second season of Space: 1889 & Beyond is thus far the one I found most challenging to read. The novel it starts so badly for our beloved pair of adventurers, Nathanial and Annabelle. They make it back to earth only to find themselves in the center of [...]

Today I again digress from my usual Steampunk-related reviews to recommend a short story by one of my favourite authors of the Space: 1889 & Beyond crew: L. Joseph Shosty. The story is real short, so the review is equally brief (and contains no spoilers): One of Us, Old Boy is a bittersweet jewel of [...]
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.
More about me can be found here and also here (in German) and Google
