Sad that @subpress_bill is shutting up shop - Subterranean Press blazed a trail in limited, high end editions that others are following more and more - been an honour to be published by them for the last 15 years. locusmag.com/2026/06/subterr…

Can Joe Abercrombie convince you to read his brilliantly inventive and witty fantasy yarn The Devils in less than 60 secs? The man's a pro, he can do it in less than 50! Find our SFF Book of the Month for June here: waterstones.com/book/the-dev…

The thing that blows my mind about Palantir is they've chosen the name of a wondrous seeing stone that was secretly debased by Sauron and ended up corrupting and destroying all who used it.

Think we’re pre-signing books for that one, so there’ll be signed books for sale but no queue afterwards.
May 11
@LordGrimdark hey Joe! I was wondering if you were going to do any signings at your event with Sanderson May 21st. I missed you while you were in the states so I was hoping to get my paperbacks signed 😅
