My interpretation of Shuncucker from Faction Paradox, I love vaguely sapphic women with large ammounts of weapons.

A cropped version of the illustration for Kate Orman's new Faction Paradox prose vignette Great Pearl Girl. It is a black-and-white image depicting a four-headed ram-god similar to Banebdjedet, standing against a stark black sky lit by a single sun or moon. Each ram-head has only a single eye, and those of the two central heads merge together into one, making three eyes in all.

Tonight, the #FactionParadox website is proud to present an exclusive interview with @kateorman.bsky.social, editor of "Liberating Earth" for @obversebooks.co.uk — and a new vignette tying in with that book's framing story!

Gauging interest: A Faction Paradox book club for newcomers like you! I’m considering Weapons Grade Snake Oil [1] as the on-ramp – the author, Blair Bidmead, generally keeps a brisk pace, has eminently fun ideas, paints a good picture, and in my experience has no issues...

Well, there you go - a Faction Paradox book club!

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!

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…
