TOR Books, publisher of science-fiction and fantasy books has declared October 2009, to be their Month of Steampunk.

From the TOR Newsletter:

“In other words, October is Steampunk Month on Tor.com! All month, we’ll be hosting special content, including giveaways, wallpapers, reviews, and posts by guest bloggers from the steampunk community. Check out the Steampunk Month index page to see what’s going on.  Tor.com being a well-oiled machine, we’ll naturally update it as each post goes up.

To start you off, we have an interview with Diana Vick, vice-chair of the upcoming Steamcon, on what steampunk means to her and the dubious joys of running a con. You can also check out this review of George Mann’s The Affinity Bridge—a cracking good yarn, and just the thing to get you in the mood”

Well worth a look.
