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.
