Reviews"Cherie Priest wove a story so convincing, so evocative, so terrifying that I read this book with the doors locked and a gun on my lap. Boneshaker is a steampunk menagerie of thrills and horror." -Mario Acevedo, bestselling author of Jailbait Zombie "This exquisitely imaginative steampunk adventure is a joy to read! My favourite of Cherie's books." -Cassandra Clare, bestselling author of the Mortal Instruments trilogy "Everything you'd want in such a volume and much more.... It's full of buckle and has swash to spare, and the characters are likable and the prose is fun. This is a hoot from start to finish, pure mad adventure." -Cory Doctorow, bestselling author of Little Brother " Boneshaker is without a doubt Cherie Priest's breakthrough work: this hollering, stamping, crackling thing is the best fun you'll have with a book all year." -Warren Ellis, bestselling author of Crooked Little Vein "A gorgeously grim world of deadly gasses, mysterious machines, zeppelin pirates, and a relentless plague of zombies. With Boneshaker , Priest is geared up to begin her reign as the Queen of Steampunk." -Mark Henry, Author of Road Trip of the Living Dead "A rip-snorting adventure in the best tradition of a penny dreadful. Priest has crafted a novel of exquisite prose and thrilling twists, populated by folk heroes and dastardly villains, zombies and air pirates, incredible machines and a heroine who'll have you cheering. Boneshaker is the definitive steampunk story, absolutely unique and one hell of a fun read." -Caitlin Kittredge, author of the Nocturne City novels "A marvelous book, crammed with readerly pleasures--zombies, pirates, cracking adventures, historical conceits and characters that make you wish you could linger inside it long after turning the final page. Cherie Priest is one of my favorite fantasists." -Kelly Link, acclaimed author of Magic for Beginners "If Jules Verne and George Romero got together to rewrite American history it might go something like this. I loved it. I want more." -Mike Mignola, bestselling author of Hellboy "If the Wild Wild West had been written by Mark Twain with the assistance of Jules Verne and Bram Stoker, it still couldn't be as fabulous and fantastical as Boneshaker . Cherie Priest has penned a rousing adventure tale that breathes a roaring soul and thundering heart into the glittering skin of Steampunk. Stylish, taut, and wonderful, it's a literary ride you must not miss!" -Kat Richardson, bestselling author of Greywalker "A steampunk-zombie-airship adventure of rollicking pace and sweeping proportions, full of wonderfully gnarly details. This book is made of irresistible…. It totally pushed all my buttons." -Scott Westerfeld, bestselling author of Uglies and Peeps "It's awesome. I loved everything about it, and I can't wait for it to come out so the rest of the world can read it an understand why I loved it as much as I did." -Wil Wheaton, A steampunk-zombie-airship adventure of rollicking pace and sweeping proportions, full of wonderfully gnarly details.
