Now That’s What I Call Steampunk! Volume 1 (Special Edition)
An album by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing
Our exceptionally good friends The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing are releasing their debut album Now That’s What I Call Steampunk! Volume 1 this year, and to celebrate we are teaming up with them and the wonderful people over at Poppy Records to bring you something very special indeed. Possibly the first album to come out on cylinder for the better part of a century, Vagrants will be producing a very limited number of specially-packaged copies of the Men’s album (released through Leather Apron Records) replete with numerous treats, including one of the album’s tracks recorded onto a wax cylinder, and (in true steampunk style) instructions on how to make your own phonographic player so that you can listen to it.
Projected Release Date: May 2010

Winterlands
A shared-world short story collection
Featuring fiction by the likes of the the Catastrophone Orchestra, Margaret Killjoy and John Reppion, Winterlands is a collection of short stories by a number of writers all working to develop and expand the same universe together. Set in a frozen post-apocalyptic wasteland following the onset of an ice age, in the world of Winterlands most of humanity has been driven mad by the unnatural, shifting twilight that covers up the sky. Those who are left exist in isolated pockets — weaving new myths and making new lives for themselves. One world, seven writers, seven stories of hope and despair, of heroism… and snow.
Projected Release Date: Summer 2010

Steampunk Times
A newspaper of the absurd
Because, to quote Magpie “increasing the amount of absurdity in the world is generally to be encouraged”, Vagrants are happy to bring you something very silly indeed. Featuring a number of exciting articles such as “’Up Tha Punx!’ Declares Queen Victoria, and Throws Bomb at Self” and “Brunel to Build Bridge to Moon — ‘Shut Up, It’ll Fucking Work, All Right?’”, and illustrated by the illustrious and eminently whimsical Doctor Geof, Steampunk Times is what happens when we think we’re being funny.
Projected Release Date: Summer 2010
