Summary
Three interlocked short novels about an alternate 19th century. In the first story, a sexually voracious newt that looks like Queen Victoria is cloned to replace the missing monarch. In the second, naturalist Louis Agassiz searches for some magic genitals. In the third, Walt Whitman amorously pursues an only slightly unwilling Emily Dickinson.

Media Reviews
"Some of the finest and funniest alternate history yet written, this trilogy takes a scalpel to the Victorian mind. Di Filippo's tongue may be planted firmly in his cheek, but he speaks with great clarity." -- Janice M. Eisen
-- Washington Post Book World

Publisher's Notes
Inside the wide realm of science fiction or out, there is nothing like the three short novels in The Steampunk Trilogy. Set in a very alternative 19th Century, they feature a mix of historical and imaginary figures. In Victoria, a young and lissome Queen Victoria disappears from her throne and is replaced by a sexy human/newt clone. The race is on to find the original Victoria and hide the terrible secret from the nation. In Hottentots, Massachusetts is threatened by H.P. Lovecraft-style monsters from the deep and, of course, Hottentots; in Walt and Emily, Emily Dickinson hooks up with a robust and lusty Walt Whitman, loses her virginity, and travels to a dimension beyond time where she and her companions meet the future Allen Ginsberg.

Making History
by Stephen Fry
Those of us who have already discovered Stephen Fry know him as the brilliant British comedian behind TV series such as Jeeves & Wooster and Blackadder, and the author of two enormously funny novels, The Liar and The Hippopotamus. But his new film (in which he plays Oscar Wilde) and his new novel (this one) represent a somewhat alarming departure from his previous work: Theyre more serious. Though humor is still an essential ingredient of both, Frys fans are finally getting to witness the emotional depth that this brilliant polymath usually keeps hidden.In Making History, Fry has bitten off a rather meaty chunk by tackling an at first deceptively simple premise: What if Hitler had never been born? An unquestionable improvement, one would reason--and so an earnest history grad student and an aging German physicist idealistically undertake to bring this about by preventing Adolfs conception. And with their success is launched a brave new world that is in some ways better than ours--but in most ways even worse. Frys experiment in history makes for his most ambitious novel yet, and his most affecting. His first book to be set mostly in America, it is a thriller with a funny streak, a futuristic fantasy based on one of mankind's darkest realities. It is, in every sense, a story of our times.

The Avram Davidson Treasury
by Robert Silverberg
Avram Davidson, author of such classics as "Or All the Seas with Oysters", "Help!

Now his estate and his friends have brought together a definitive collection of his finest work, each story introduced by an SF luminary: writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, William Gibson, Poul Anderson, Gene Wolfe, Guy Davenport, Peter S. Beagle, Gregory Benford, Alan Dean Foster, Thomas M. Disch, and dozens of others. This is a volume every lover of 20th-century fantasy will need to own.
