Cybermancy, Incorporated by Chris Roberson

Clockwork Storybook is a print on demand publisher working to build a reputation for quality product. Judging from this offering, they are off to a good start. Cybermancy, Incorporated collects related stories following the extended Carmody family through weird adventures in the last two centuries. Magic works, though it's just out of sight, and it combines interestingly with computers. The modern day sections have a snappy style, while a nineteenth century portion slows enough to recall period prose without dragging. I found it a good, gonzo read, reminiscent of Tim Powers and more cheerful. Check it out at www.clockworkstorybook.com

Postscript: Clockwork Storybook is gone. Chris Robeson's books remain available through Amazon.com.
