Jeter, K. W. Morlock Night. New York City: DAW Books, 1979. See Internet Speculative Fiction Database at note for subsequent editions, reviews, and translations.[1]

"In a letter to Locus Magazine in April 1987, Jeter coined the word 'steampunk' to describe" Morlock Night "and other novels by James Blaylock and Tim Powers."[2] Critics not the author might see it as a satura of SF and (Arthurian) legend/fantasy.[3]

See for Morlocks' use of Wells's time machine to go back to an "menace Victorian London."[4] Recall that in Wells the Morlocks are the technological species.
