Infernal Devices

Written by K.W. Jeter

Average Score: 77(2)

HE INHERITED A WATCHMAKER'S STORE - AND A WHOLE HEAP OF TROUBLE. But idle sometime-musician George has little talent for clockwork. And when a shadowy figure tries to steal an old device from the premises, George finds himself embroiled in a mystery of time travel, music and sexual intrigue. A genuine lost classic, a steampunk original whose time has come.

Reviews


Strange Horizons | Brendan Byrne
Review Rating: 80
What we see in Infernal Devices is not just the presager of what steampunk is, but what it could have been, a marvelously self-aware and inventive attack on the obsessions and degradations of the present.

Review Rating: 75
[Audio Version] This novel is a good example of "Mad Victorian" -- it's just fast chaotic fun.
