Gollancz Geeks

Our book of the month for April is the mighty Son of the Morning by Mark Alder. The best way to introduce it is via an edited letter from Simon,our Associate Publisher for Gollancz, which he penned to our Geeks earlier in the year (who you’ll be hearing more from later in the month) to bring them to this epic read. The first chapter is below, and we’re be serializing it throughout the month with a giveaway to come.

We promised you some Geeks reviews, and we will deliver! Sometimes Gollancz is just fashionably late, okay? Last week we shared what reviewers and other authors were saying about Wolfhound Century, to celebrate the paperback publication, but now it’s the turn of our Gollancz Geeks. If you’ve read Wolfhound Century, let us know what you […]

Some of you might have noticed that we haven’t put up the Wolfhound Century Geeks quotes today (which is Friday). We did say visit us today for quotes, but we really meant visit us on Monday for quotes and a give away! Have a fantastic weekend!

Wolfhound Century, a 2013 Gollancz Geeks title, is out now in paperback and we’ve got a special blog post from the book’s editor, Simon, to share with you.  Anyone unfortunate enough to be around me over the past year or so has had to put up with me wittering on about a book. A book I […]

Our book of the month in January is Wolves by Simon Ings, which is best described in a different Simon’s introduction to chapter one last week. It is a chilling dystopian work; a story about technology becomes a personal quest into a changed world and the pursuit of a secret from the past. A secret about a […]

New Year, new author. Well five new authors in fact. We thought we’d kick off 2014 with a brief introduction to the five authors we’re proud to be bringing to you for the first time on the Gollancz list this year. Whether you like SF thrillers, high fantasy, epic fantasy with a sharp twist, time […]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates, whether Americans, expats or people who love to join in on the 4th Thursday in November. Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when I’m truly homesick. Living in London for seven years, I’ve learned to do without fireworks on Independence Day, but making due without pumpkin pie […]

To celebrate not only the horror-fest that is Halloween this week, but also the Christmas edition of N0S4R2 being published, we have chosen to share one of our brilliant Gollancz Geeks reviews with you for Joe Hill’s epic horror. This week’s Geek review comes from Jan, who has given us this great review of N0S4R2 […]

It’s Halloween, which means it’s officially long past time to start getting ready for Christmas. Don’t believe me, the Christmas lights are already lit here in Covent Garden, just outside Gollancz Towers. If this doesn’t fill you with horror (and believe me it terrifies me!) and a little bit of dread then we’ve got the […]

Happy Friday Gollancz Blog Readers! We are happy to share with you our first  Geeks Friday Read for The Falconer, a September Gollancz Geeks title!  Today’s Geeks Friday Read is from Ti Colluney. You can follow Ti on Twitter @EternalsBlissy.  I was super thrilled to hear I had been chosen to review The Falconer by Elizabeth May.  I […]

Since it’s publication week for the eagerly awaited (and brilliant) The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch, we thought it only fitting to share with you what the Geeks made of Scott’s earlier work, namely The Lies of Locke Lamora. And guess what? They only bloody love it. This week’s Geek reviewer is Mike Kerr, and we […]

Happy Friday Gollancz Blog readers! We are excited to bring you a Gollancz Geeks review of The Lies of Locke Lamora from Alex Bradshaw at The Tempered Pen.  Let us know your thoughts about the Gentlemen Bastard Sequence in the comments below. Haven’t read the book yet? For this month only you can purchase The Lies […]

It’s only one week until Brandon Sanderson’s brilliant new series hits the shelves, kicking off with Steelheart, and we could not be more excited. Especially because we’re already getting rave reviews from the Gollancz Geeks, and we only sent it to them last week! Our first review is from Elizabeth, who has an awesome vlog […]

Last month we published the second of Sarah Pinborough’s fairy tales for adults, Charm, so we thought it was high time you needed reminding just how brilliant these books are from one of our Gollancz Geeks. Kris Meic sent us this great review of Poison, the first of Sarah’s fairy tales, as part of our Geeks mailing […]

We were absolutely overwhelmed with responses when we asked our Gollancz Geeks if they would like to review Terra by Mitch Benn. A lucky few were picked at random to receive a copy and let us know their thoughts – and they are already coming in thick and fast! We thought we’d share parts of our first […]
