@Tyler Childers: For me, when it came to Boneshaker ... there wasn't just one "Eureka!" moment - it was a combination of things, colliding and melding, and eventually forming the core of the story.

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: First of all, thanks! And second - absolutely. I got my start in horror, and while I often incorporate it into my steampunk, gothic, and whatnot ... I'll almost certainly return to it whole hog one of these days.
