After a lengthy struggle and much holding of heads, we are delighted to finally be able to announce the release of Issue #6 of Steampunk Magazine – The Pre-Industrial Revolution. With the final part of John Reppion’s ‘Doppler and the Madness Engine’; a look at the Romantics and what they did for us; alchemy; Luddites; corsets; sculpture; windmills; poetry; and Victorian martial arts, it’s our biggest issue to date.

As ever, Issue #6 can be downloaded from our website, or alternatively you can get your hands on your very own hard-copy through the order page on Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

I had only a small part in this issue (grammar/spelling/punctuation nazi), but I am very proud of it. Go have a look!

Featuring everything from emergency welding to a very special guest essay by Bruce Sterling, it is available…on our downloads page, and can also be purchased, as ever, through Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

Magpie, Allegra, and I are extremely giddy about this issue. It is stuffed to the gills with dangerous DIY projects, motivating editorials, and delicate (as a doorknob) humor. I contributed an interview with the Chronabelle Crew, a gang of sharp young steamers I had the pleasure of meeting at last year’s Bay Area Maker Faire.

Take a gander at the free download, and do pick up your own analog copy for reading late at night in the bathtub, too. Many thanks!
