Guest Reviewer sqyiggle reviews the novel The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder, published by Pyr.
Its Steampunk. Its a reimagined Victorian London, complete with ludicrous fogs, steampowered bicycles, airships, mutant monsters, time travel, and rudimentary genetic engineering. It is almost as if Hodder has taken the entire genre and shovelled it, belts and braces, into this novel.
