A Compendium of Steampunk Moving Pictures

My Favorite Steampunk Moving Pictures



Of course, I know what I consider to be Steampunk/Dieselpunk may not be by others, but I do know that The Wild, Wild West has been featured in a Steampunk book compendium. I also know that both Tai Chi movies are Asian Steampunk, in this case, Chinese. I highly recommend those on both the Animated and Live Action lists, though the two on my third list are maybes. I really love Edgar Rice Burroughs and have read all of the…

Stella Drexler's Halloween Spooktacular Steampunk Special: LITTLE AGNES AND THE GHOSTS OF KELPIE WHARF Part Three

PART THREE

The ebony stone skinned creature spun towards them, widening his grinding mouth in a ghastly grin. He lifted hands as long and sharp as needles and raced towards them. Agnes did not fire her pistol. Instead, she seized Vic's arm and stepped to the side, for the creature, while swift and deadly, was quite stupid. He did not anticipate their change in direction and continued on his path,…

She crept stealthily along the creepy,…

An Excerpt from TESS MERCURY & THE CROOKED PINK by Eleanor Prophet

We stayed off the main roads and stuck to the frontier land on our way to Fortune City, New Mexico. The Pinkerton didn’t seem to mind. He was a quiet, patient travel companion. Hazel on the other hand, was so hopped up she might have been a Mexican jumping bean. The hotter the weather became and the closer we drew to Fortune City, New Mexico, Hazel got wound tighter and tighter.

She was bouncing in her saddle upon her long-suffering steed Tesla the afternoon we drew towards the small,…
