====Fantasy and horror==== {{See also|Cyberpunk derivatives}} [[Kaja Foglio]] introduced the term "Gaslamp Fantasy", for the series [[Girl Genius]].<ref name=VanderMeer/>{{rp|78}} Gaslamp fantasy, which [[John Clute]] and [[John Grant (author)|John Grant]] define as "steampunk stories ... most commonly set in a romanticised, smoky, 19th-century London, as are Gaslight Romances. But the latter category focuses nostalgically on icons from the late years of that century and the early years of the 20th century—on [[Dracula]], [[Jekyll and Hyde]], [[Jack the Ripper]], [[Sherlock Holmes]] and even [[Tarzan]]—and can normally be understood as combining supernatural fiction and [[recursive fantasy]], though some gaslight romances can be read as fantasies of history."<ref name="Encyclopedia of Fantasy">{{cite book|last1=Clute|first1=John|last2=Grant|first2=John|last3=Ashley|first3=Mike|last4=Hartwell|first4=David G.|last5=Westfahl|first5=Gary|title=The Encyclopedia of Fantasy|date=1999|publisher=St. Martin's Griffin|location=New York|isbn=978-0-312-19869-5|pages=895–896|edition=1st|quote=STEAMPUNK A term applied more to [[science fiction]] than to fantasy, though some tales described as steampunk do cross genres. ... Steampunk, on the other hand, can be best described as technofantasy that is based, sometimes quite remotely, upon technological [[anachronism]].}}</ref> Author/artist [[James Richardson-Brown]]<ref>{{cite news|work=The Chronicles|year=2008|volume=2|issue=9|page=10|title=Steampunk – What's That All About|last=Richardson-Brown|first=James}}</ref> coined the term ''steamgoth'' to refer to steampunk expressions of fantasy and [[horror fiction|horror]] with a "darker" bent.
