Shimmery creatures have made an excellent showing in The Mammoth Book of Steampunk (editor, Sean Wallace). Amid the table of contents, we spied two reprints from Shimmer #11: “The Mechanical Aviary of Emperor Jala-ud-din Muhammed Akbar” by Shweta Narayan and “The Clockwork Goat and the Smokestack Magi” by Peter M. Ball.

Offerings from other Shimmery folk include: “Clockwork Chickadee” by Mary Robinette Kowal, “To Follow the Waves” by Amal El-Mohtar, and “Icebreaker” by  E. Catherine Tobler.

Congrats to all! The book arrives in spring 2012.
