Steam-what?

If you haven't already discovered the joys of Steampunk literature, here is a quick primer: Steampunk novels often involve an alternate history where steam-driven or clockwork devices are part of the norm and in some cases run things. The novels are often peppered with magic or pseudo-science fiction. A few titles you might like to start with could be Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan, Kate Milford's The Boneshaker or Cassandra Clare Clockwork Angel.
