Excited to share this as it bridges two of my favourite worlds, two very difficult fields; literature and acting (let's all shed a tear💧). Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd be on the cover of a book of such a respected author✨️ thanks @alisonsampson.bsky.social & @aptshadow.bsky.social
A new arrival from Subterranean Press - with a beautiful cover by @alisonsampson.bsky.social - this collects the vast majority of my short fiction to date, along with commentary on particularly noteworthy entries.
We’re delighted to announce The Best of Adrian Tchaikovsky (@aptshadow.bsky.social), a massive—37 stories, more than 600 pages—collection by the author of many acclaimed novels. Featuring a foreword by @scalzi.com. Full details and preorder: subterraneanpress.com/newsannounci...

It was such a surreal experience going to TB this year as both a fan and a freelancer. My appreciation for the hard work behind tabling, panelling and networking was super high✨️ A stormy mix of emotions! Still processing but I'd love to do it again✨️

I asked my French publisher why they are so completist publishing all of an author's work, even novels less likely to sell. She said she sees part of her role as like monasteries in medieval times, to preserve knowledge through the dark ages. I was struck in the gut a bit by this, felt emotional.
