Mira Books Vampire Weekend
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A love letter to the power of music, this thoughtful, humorous exploration of what constitutes living versus mere survival sees Chen (Light Years from Home) at the top of his game.” —Publishers Weekly starred review"A propulsive, poignant ode to vampire mythos, human connection, and the enduring power of punk rock.” —Sarah Kuhn, author of Heroine Complex "Mike Chen is at his best here, with a sharp-as-fangs reinvention of the vampire mythos centered on the power of family, born and chosen, and, of course, punk rock. This book will sink its teeth right into your heart." —Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author"Never getting old sucks! Mike Chen's Vampire Weekend is a kicky homage to punk rock and a delightful exploration of what it means to be 'other,' teaching us that while vampire blood helps, true healing comes from family and forgiveness." —Sierra Godfrey, author of A Very Typical Family "Fresh, intelligent, and darkly funny, Vampire Weekend is my favorite vampire novel since Interview With The Vampire." —Stina Leicht, author of Persephone Station“Vampire Weekend rocks. It’s a fanged love song to punk, guitars, and vampires, and it shines with hope and humor. I loved every beat.” —New York Times Bestselling Author Chloe Neill"Vampire Weekend finally gives us the painfully relatable vampires we've always needed: awkward, cringey, their clothes never quite in style. But with that comes a story of genuine kindness and the gentle wonder of understanding and friendship found in the least likely place imaginable—in your own family, vampire or not." —Natalie Zina Walschots, author of Hench"A strong emotional core carries Chen’s (Light Years from Home, 2022) latest, which is ultimately about healing from old wounds and learning how to embrace life again after loss—even if you’re dead." —Booklist"The narrative shifts through time to tell a story of family and battling loneliness with music for an altogether unique tale." —Book Riot"It’s funny, it’s suspenseful, it’s sometimes heartbreaking but always thrilling. The story will never go where you expect it to go, and that’s just one of many reasons you won’t be able to put it down once it’s open in your hands." —Culturess"Anyone looking for a cute, family story that happens to star someone who lives off blood will be fully satiated." —Tor.com"An ode to a love for vampires, music, and family." —Library Journal“Vampire Weekend by Mike Chen was a fun supernatural romp.” —io9

Pan Macmillan Who Killed Sherlock Holmes
Book SynopsisThe ghost of Sherlock Holmes is dead, but who will solve his murder? The Great Detective's ghost has walked London's streets for an age, given shape by people's memories. Now someone's put a ceremonial dagger through his chest. But what's the motive? And who - or what - could kill a ghost? When policing London's supernatural underworld, eliminating the impossible is not an option. DI James Quill and his detectives have learnt this the hard way. Gifted with the Sight, they'll pursue a criminal genius - who'll lure them into a Sherlockian maze of clues and evidence. The team also have their own demons to fight. They've been to Hell and back (literally) but now the unit is falling apart . . .Paul Cornell's Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? is the third book in the urban gothic Shadow Police series. Trade ReviewThere are very few people who should be allowed anywhere near those sacred words "Sherlock Holmes", and Paul Cornell is one of the best * Steven Moffat *More dazzling work from a master of every medium he tackles * Rob Doherty, Executive Producer of Elementary *The Shadow Police series is the quintessential British contemporary fantasy, full of grit and magic and wonderful things. Paul Cornell is a national treasure * Adam Christopher *An irresistible blend of guns, gangsters, cops and monsters that grabs you by the eyeballs and never lets go. Start this book early in the day people, because you ain't going to get no sleep until it's done * Ben Aaronovitch on London Falling (Book One) *I think it is absolutely magnificent. I loved it . . . I'm not sure I've been that gripped by a novel in... well, decades * Russell T. Davies on London Falling (Book One) *Paul Cornell's London Falling is a much grittier vision of a gothic, fantasy London, well balanced between its depiction of the city's criminal underworld and a horrifying fantasy reality that for most of the novel lurks just at the edges of sight. Its take on the crime genre is less The Bill, more The Sweeney * Guardian on London Falling (Book One) *Realistic banter, original twists; a nifty debut * Daily Telegraph on London Falling (Book One) *Pacy, smart and revels in London mythology. It's especially clever in that our heroes don't stop being coppers just because they now realize there are more things in heaven and earth (and elsewhere) than dreamt of in our philosophies. London Falling might not be on the Booker longlist, but crikey it's good fun * Scotland on Sunday on London Falling (Book One) *The team's continued struggle to understand the dark and terrifying side of London is gripping. This book is a strong follow-up, a good standalone story, and an excellent read for fans of dark urban fantasy * Publishers Weekly on Severed Streets (Book Two) *

Open Road Media The Infinity Concerto
Book SynopsisMusic, myth, and magic mix in this tale of a melody not meant for human ears, from the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author of Darwin’s Radio. Michael Perrin is an aspiring poet, struggling to express the chaotic cadences of his thoughts on paper. He finds a kindred spirit in Arno Waltiri, the film score composer behind several of Michael’s favorite classic movies. The maestro’s greatest piece, however, was performed in front of a live audience only once. The concerto Opus 45, Infinity left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls. Waltiri’s composition is a song of power. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a siren’s call, its notes ring out like a death knell, and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality. The music’s otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic—and where Michael must find his muse if he’s ever to return home. The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of the Forerunner Saga, Eon, and other imaginative classics. Trade Review“A delight. A vision of Faery that may owe a bit to a wish to do it right. Read it.” —Analog Praise for Greg Bear “Greg Bear is one of the best of this generation’s idea writers. He explores the very edge of tomorrow and makes you feel what might happen the day after that.” —David Brin “A writer of remarkable talent and fresh vision.” —Library Journal

Rebellion Publishing Ltd. Dream London
Book SynopsisCaptain Jim Wedderburn has looks, style and courage by the bucketful. He's adored by women, respected by men and feared by his enemies. He's the man to find out who has twisted London into this strange new world, and he knows it. But in Dream London the city changes a little every night and the people change a little every day. The towers are growing taller, the parks have hidden themselves away and the streets form themselves into strange new patterns. There are people sailing in from new lands down the river, new criminals emerging in the East End and a path spiralling down to another world. Everyone is changing, no one is who they seem to be.Trade Review"Tony Ballantyne's sixth novel, Dream London, is one of those unclassifiable gems that crop up from time to time. London is transforming into a quasi-Victorian nightmare of instant gratification. One man, Captain James Wedderburn - pimp, egotist and arch manipulator - is charged by the mysterious Cartel to find out who or what might be responsible. Along the way he meets a cast of delightful grotesques - Honey Peppers, a foul-mouthed six-year-old lackey to a psychotic gangster; the charmingly naive frog-man Mr Monagon; and the Quantifiers, huge humans with eyes on the ends of their tongues - as he brings about his own, and London's, redemption. The novel shares the surreal, absurdist whimsy of Alice in Wonderland and Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday." - The Guardian "Tony Ballantyne dares to dream...succeeds beyond all expectation." - Locus
