Five weird books for the jaded reader

Robert Brockway's latest novel is Kill All Angels: The Vicious Circuit (Volume 3). One of five weird books for the jaded reader he tagged at Tor.com:
The Inexplicables by Cherie Priest

You know what to expect from most steampunk: You’ll certainly get some steam, probably some punks. Lots of vests and corsets, brass fittings and airships, clockwork robots and muskets.

You do not know what to expect when Cherie Priest does steampunk: You’ll get all that other stuff, sure— but you also get zombies, poison gas, drugs made out of that poison gas, zombies made out of those drugs made out of that poison gas, and when all that starts to look like the new normal, that’s when the yetis come.
Read about the other entries on the list.
