Publication News: 2024


I have a new novel coming out in July (amazon page here): a utopian novel mashed-up with some space-opera Lovecraftian/Dennis Wheatley horror. My teenage son, when I explained the premise, suggested I call it Space Satan!!!, with that many exclamation marks, and this may have been a better title than the King Lear reference with which I have actually gone. But here we are. And isn't the cover-art, above, splendid? I think it is.

I have a new short novel coming out soon fom NeoText: High. This is a thriller. Pitch it into the elevator as ‘Extraction, but on Mars’. Indeed, simply chuck it into the elevator and walk away.

And a critical book: I am putting the finishing touches to a short History of Fantasy, which will be published by Bloomsbury, I think later in the year.

  1. Mr Roberts - you might want to tell your publisher that the 'about the author' section of your book's page currently lists and shows a photo of the author Scott Kenemore.

    1. Thanks: I will. I also note the amazon page for my novel, which at the moment nobody but I and my editor at VG have read, contains multiple 4* and 5* reviews, so something is v dodgy over there.

    2. Kenemore also wrote a book called *Lake of Darkness*.
      Roberts wouldn't be having this problem if he had gone with *Space Satan!!!*.

  4. Dennis Wheatley?! How much Dennis Wheatley? The Devil Rides Out is the worst book I've ever read right through to the end. (Wait a minute...I think that means that I'm a bigger boob than Wheatley...)
