Oh hey would you look at that.

I'm back at it again with @brendandurkin.bsky.social for three more books at @gollancz.bsky.social!

This one's got everything!
Ghosts!
Excessively virtuous knights!
A distressing tower!
A man who is also a tree?
Lots of birds!
Utopian anarchism!

It's great.

When I heard about #SomeBodyLikeMe by @ldlapinski.bsky.social I was immediately VERY interested and huge thanks to @gollancz.bsky.social for my copy. It’s been described as “A tender examination of selfhood, the end of the world, and above all, love” and just look at that cover!

The Devils by Joe Abercrombie @joeabercrombie.com is a wickedly dark, action-packed fantasy, and we are ecstatic to have it as our May 2025 GSFF pick.

This brutal, brilliantly paced novel blends sharp wit, relentless violence, and unexpected heart, creating a tale as hilarious as it is harrowing.

The special edition from @gollancz.bsky.social of DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is so beautiful.

The sprayed edges are 🔥 and the circuitry on the cover make it look like a physical piece of tech (which goes right with the story).
