Friday Question!

[princess]

Alright, this week's Friday Question is a little selfish, but I've watched all my DVDs so...

What's your favorite Steampunk media work? It can be a book, a CD, a DVD or something else! Tell us a little bit about it! Maybe you'll make a connection with someone else who loves your obscure theremin recordings...or maybe you'll find something you never heard of and want to check out!

(As always, answers in the comments please!)

I'd have to say Whitechapel Gods by S.M.Peters. It's incredibly descriptive in such a gritty way. It's great to follow so many people from so many perspectives, and a lot of the main characters grabbed me as soon as I saw them to be used later.

The back cover is as follows for anyone interested:

In Victorian London, the Whitechapel section has been cut off, enclosed by an impassable wall, and is now ruled by two mysterious mechanical gods. Mama Engine is the goddess of sentiment, a mother to her believers. Grandfather Clock represents logic and precision.

A few years have passed since the Uprising, when humans fought the gold cloaks, the black cloaks, and even the vicious Boiler Men, the brutal police force responsible for keeping humans in check. Today, Whitechapel is a mechanized, steam-driven hell. But a few brave veterans of the Uprising have formed a new resistance, and they are gathering for another attack. For now they have a secret weapon that may finally free them...or kill them.
