Definitely in the spirit of steampunk i.e. creative anachronism and literary inspiration, but lacking the crucial science fiction influence I think.

He has his own sidebar article in the same issue on how he made his tribute kit.

A young person of my acquaintance recently revealed to me some of the more accessible mysteries of ‘Steam Punk’. I see from that impeccable source (hmm), Wikipaedia, that the term was first used in the 1980s. Your vampire kits seem to have substantial common ground with this cultural phenomenon: a cod Victorianism; a preoccupation with rather whimsical ‘technology’; a vague Gothicism.

i am a sceptic but this is a poorly written article as it,s main argument is using the facts to fit the story. that in itself is this article. There is nothing in this article that is an educated argument. At the end of the day they were lying or they were not. I have never bought the idea that people who experience this kind of thing are all mad. For me to denounce everyone as nutters or liars without a cohesive argument is lazy.
