loket_beskuret_litetOne of the great things about our Steampunkfestival is the environment, being at the Railway Museum with all of the beautiful old locomotives and carriages. A nice opportunity to put a spotligth on trains and railways in literature, and our interest is especially in the fantastic literature. From now on we will now and then point at interesting things relating to the intersection of trains and locomotives and science fiction, fantasy or horror.

The first now, an article in Clarkesworld Magazine: Beyond the Tracks: The Locomotive in Science Fiction Literature. Enjoy!
