The excellent folk over at Phantasia Press – a recently revived small press publisher of special deluxe hardback editions – have acquired the rights for Stormblood!
This means that there’s going to be two hardback editions of Stormblood – one lettered, one numbered. There’ll be 350 numbered editions. The books will include a slipcase, interior artwork, a dust jacket, a cover. And, of course, all copies of the books will be signed (or narcissistically defaced, if you prefer), by yours truly.
I don’t know any dates or have any idea of when any of this is going to happen, or what it’s going to cost. But I know a lot of people are avid collectors of special hardbacks, and with the Goldsboro hardback edition of Stormblood selling out within a week, I imagine there will be one or two people who will be very eager to check out what Phantasia Press does with Stormblood.
And if sales are good, there’s no reason why they cannot give the whole trilogy the deluxe edition treatment.
My agent, John Jarrold, has the full announcement here.
Alex Berman at Phantasia Press has acquired limited edition hardback rights in STORMBLOOD, the brilliant SF debut by Jeremy Szal. The deal was concluded with Alice Cottrell, Rights Manager at Orion/Gollancz. Gollancz published STORMBLOOD in 2020, and the sequel, BLINDSPACE, in 2021. The third book in the sequence, WOLFSKIN, is being written.
If you want to make sure you hear about the release dates/pre-orders as soon as possible, you’d do well to subscribe to my Book Club, since I’ll be posting the news and links there first.
Till next time . . .
