In celebration of Steampunk Month on Tor.com, we’ve decided to kick off our discounting program with a selection of steampunk titles from all publishers. This list of books and comics was compiled by Tor.com's resident steampunk expert, Tor Books editor Liz Gorinsky, and while certainly not comprehensive, represents some of the best of the form. All the books on this list are discounted at 30% in the Tor.com Store, which isn’t a bad deal, and comparable to what you’ll find at other online book retailers. They will remain at 30% until 31 October.
