Line 177:
* Ian Tregillis novel ''Bitter Seeds'', which is set during a [[WW 2]] where psychic Nazi supers fight demon-summoning British blood-sorcerers. Quite [[Darker and Edgier|GrimDark]].
* ''Ghosts of Manhattan'' takes place in a world that is moving from [[Steampunk]] (coal driven cars, airships) to this (biplanes with rocket boosters) with hints of [[Raygun Gothic]] (holographic statues and videophones).
* Though ''[[Leviathan]]'' by Scott Westerfeld is definitely in the [[Steampunk]] genre by how it's presented and what kind of story it is, the Clanker technology is more Diesel Punk, as they frequently use gas, oil, kerosene, and diesel, not just steam. Also, the Darwist's "beasties" are a good example of [[
* ''[[Dreadnought]]'' by Cherie Priest. Thanks to the Republic of Texas discovering oil fifty years early, the Confederates are quite proud of their '[[Humongous Mecha|walker]]' which runs on diesel as opposed to the steam-driven Union mecha. Coal-diesel engines are also used by paddlesteamers and the eponymous [[Cool Train]].
* Jonathan L. Howard's ''Johannes Cabal'' series straddles this and Steam Punk. The first book, ''[[Johannes Cabal the Necromancer]]'' is more Steam, the second, ''[[Johannes Cabal the Detective]]'' more Deco Diesel.
