Thanks to patient cooperation from Obverse, this is the definitive print version of OtCotS, with deleted text restored and all the wild excesses of formatting and illustration I originally envisaged. It includes my two short story sequels, "A Hundred Words from a Civil War" and "God Encompasses".

that time people said "who has some Faction Paradox pitches" and I went "want a story told entirely in comic script with Beano-style dialogue" and they said "you son of a bitch, we're in": obversebooks.co.uk/product/fact...

What would you all say to a shiny reprint of @purserhallard.com's genuinely seminal FP novel,' ...Of the City of the Saved'? All new layout, with new illustrations by Nick Hallard and new content?
We've done 6 City anthologies - now it's time that the original, as you might say, joined Obverse!

Looks like The Boulevard Volume 2 is now out of stock in the limited edition hardback (and may have been for a while - apologies for not noticing!)
Paperback to follow in the near future!
(And ROSE-COLOURED CROSSHAIRS, the new Spiral Politic novella, is rapidly selling out in hardback too!)

A portrait of Sabbath Dei, a tall, portly man with close-cropped black hair in black 18th century dress. He wears a neutral, superficial expression. In his right hand is a bloodied shard of jagged glass, and he is holding up his left forearm to display several long-healed scars.
A portrait of Lilith, or Lolita, a pale, strikingly beautiful, aristocratic woman wearing golden jewelry and a velvety black dress. She is holding a swaddled baby, but her expression, staring straight ahead at the viewer, is one of ruthless ambition?
A portrait of Cousin Eliza of the Faction Paradox Military Wing, a muscular young woman wearing a sleeveless black top, with short black hair. Her arms are crossed, and she is smirking.
A painting of Godfather Morlock, head of the Faction Paradox Bio-Research Wing. He is a large, middle-aged man wearing a bloodstaned leather apron as he carries out a biodata autopsy. His skull mask is mounted with spectacles like a jeweler's, and his unkempt gray hair spills out from behind it.
New #FactionParadox artwork! We're happy to announce that the Spiral Politic Database has been updated with six original character portraits by the amazing Galadriel Coffeen — from Cousin Justine to the mysterious Sabbath Dei…
