["Boneshaker" is] a steampunk-zombie-airship adventure of rollicking pace and sweeping proportions, full of wonderfully gnarly details.--Scott Westerfeld, author of "Leviathan."

💎 Our verdict on Boneshaker: A Novel of the Clockwork Century

“

Horror Reads editorial team
Horror desk
Cherie Priest delivers a thrilling fusion of historical dread and mechanical peril in Boneshaker, set against the backdrop of a walled-off, gas-poisoned Seattle overrun by the living dead. The novel plunges readers into a suffocating, soot-choked atmosphere where subterranean mining machinery has unleashed a terrifying plague upon the city's desperate survivors. Rather than relying on quiet psychological tension, this story aims for visceral, high-octane terror driven by relentless hordes, toxic vapors, and claustrophobic underground corridors. It is an ideal pick for fans of creature features and atmospheric steampunk who enjoy seeing ordinary characters fight desperately against mechanical and monstrous nightmares alike.
