What is Squidpunk? 

Taking a joke all the way.

Squidpunk started as a joke blog entry by writer Jeff Vandermeer about an anthology of cephalopod fiction. I thought this was the best idea ever and it turns out there is actually a fair bit of fiction out there based around squid, octopus, cuttlefish, and nautilus.
