Infernal Devices / K W Jeter

“This is the real thing – a mad inventor, curious coins, murky London alleys and windblown Scottish Isles … a wild and extravagant plot that turns up new mysteries with each succeeding page.”
– James P Blaylock

“Pure joy… I couldn’t set it down.”

WHEN GEORGE’S FATHER DIED, HE LEFT GEORGE HIS WATCHMAKER SHOP – AND MORE.

But George has little talent for watches and other infernal devices. When someone tries to steal an old device from the premises, George finds himself embroiled in a mystery of time travel, music and sexual intrigue. The classic steampunk tale from the master of the genre.

With a delightful new introduction by the author and a scholarly afterword by Jeff VanderMeer.

More praise for Infernal Devices:

“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.”
- Strange Horizons

“I’ll save you the trouble of reading this entire review by simply saying that K. W Jeter’s Infernal Devices is one of the best executed novels I’ve read in a long time, and I easily expect it to be one of my top reads for the year.  I guarantee you will enjoy it.”
- The Little Red Reviewer

“K.W. Jeter has created quite a marvelous world inInfernal Devices. Sometimes rather weird and alien but always consistent.”
- The Traveler’s Steampunk Blog

“Suddenly I can see exactly what the whole fascination with Steampunk is all about. Jeter sets the Victorian scene here so skilfully, it’s absolutely perfect. I could easily have been reading a novel written in 1840. He’s impressively deft and accurate in his language of the time, making the novel completely believable, and yet he still writes in a style that is effortlessly readable. His Victorian London is dark, menacing, and compelling.”
- Fantasy Nibbles

“Infernal Devices turned out to be an imaginative and enjoyable read.”
- Book Den
