Angry Robot Books

I dust my house. My AI robot watches.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."

"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Jeff Noon is on bluesky and his story spores are in the air.

The excellent Will Wiles with glad tidings.

Oh, well played.

Moon Over Brendle? Don't listen to us, listen to Aliya Whiteley:

"A transporting, generous novel, creating much to think on, and richly conjuring hopes and fears. It's an immersive and vivid adventure."
Aliya Whiteley, BSFA Best Novel Award-winning author of Three Eight One.

Happy birthday! A sacrifice will be made in your honour.

we have nothing to fear but fear itself and the ever growing all consuming sentient moss

Gemma Amor? Don't listen to us, listen to @vlatinalondon.bsky.social

Don’t go dancing in glass slippers. Don’t steal porridge from bears. And ditch the red hood: too noticeable. Otherwise, have a safe journey.

📘 I’ve started reading the concluding episode to @ada-hoffmann.bsky.social “The Outside” trilogy from @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

I finished 📗 a couple of months ago, so the gentle introduction of this third book has brought me back up to speed very nicely.

Jeff Noon's Nyquist novels? Don't listen to us, listen to Wasp Box.

(Oh, and by the way, he's also totally right about Adam Roberts.)

A photo of copies of the Angry Robot editions of Gogmagog and Ludluda by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard. Below them are two books wrapped in old map paper, a bookmark and a coaster.

"She would have to regrow herself.
Tomorrow she would begin again on the task of her life, her secret life."

The time we wrapped up copies of Gogmagog and Ludluda in old maps, tied them with string and sent them out with a bookmark and a stained Jim Brimstone's Navy Rum coaster.

Eternity's Tomb? Don't listen to us, listen to Eddie.

Bloody Genoese!

Demon with an arquebus FTW.

Awesome!

"Common foot soldiers able to bring down a knight without even having to spend years not being allowed to play football while they train with a longbow? It's LITERALLY the Devil's work."

Dan Moren - he fought the Galactic Cold War for you, now he's going to rob a tomb before it falls into a black hole so you don't have to.

Could be a good read for those fantasy fiction authors whose worlds were flirting with gunpowder as a democratising counter to snobby aristocrats in armour, arrogant wizards in pointy hats and greedy dragons with fiery halitosis and scales proof against even "the sharpest sword or swiftest arrow."

Set in Sunderland, Pelt explores the thinning veil between artistic creation and physical transformation, following Roz, a special effects artist working in a failing costume shop, whose life and body begin to unravel as she becomes entangled in a low-budget horror film project.

Coming Nov 2027.

A promotional panel. It features a photo of a young woman. The text reads: Charlotte Haley acquisition announcement

"Pelt is my love letter to the North East of England, to horror films, and to making art that bursts out of your skin.”

We are thrilled to announce that we have acquired Charlotte Haley’s debut, Pelt, a psychological horror story that masterfully blends feminist rage with visceral body horror.

Sentient? Don't listen to us, listen to A.J.

"It was that kind of day, when one thing led to another, on and on. The dive of the kestrel had directed me to a long meandering line of pink and silver dust that was creeping across the field ... I walked down to meet it, and then followed alongside. The dust stream was a hand-span across.'

Still love this
