Gollancz Team -

Jen

Jen works in the Gollancz/Indigo marketing team. Originally from New York, she talks too loud (and far too fast). When not marketing books or devising evil genius plans (as she prefers to think of marketing) she reads too much, adventures as much as possible and is learning the difference between US and UK English (it’s a complex process). She has a weakness for brilliant YA novels, fairy tales, myths, chocolate tea and trashy American TV. She also has a pathological hatred of mayo. You can follow her on Twitter: @gennmcmenemy

Read this book with the lights on: NOS4R2

Gollancz Team: - May 9th, 2013
Books of the month, Horror

9780575130678 (1)Our May book of the month is NOS4R2. This book is terrifying. Don’t believe us. . . let Gillian Redfearn tell you a little more about it.

Some books are too scary to read even with the lights on. Some are too scary to read even when you’re surrounded by people in the middle of the day.

This book gave me nightmares.

This book still makes me shiver when I see a Rolls Royce.

This book will under your skin, into your mind, and once it’s there it will never leave.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

And whatever you do, don’t get in the car . . .

We did warn you. It’s a very good thing that the days are getting longer, because you’ll need all the daylight you can get to read this book. Next week we’ll be bringing you a very special extract read by Joe Hill himself.

See you then!

There will be death.
This is the path of anger . . .

Farewell Sookie: DEAD EVER AFTER IS HERE!

Gollancz Team: - May 7th, 2013
Charlaine Harris, Dark Fantasy, Extract

When the weather is this stunning it always makes me think of summer and for me, summer belongs to the Southern Vampire.

Over four years ago, I joined Team Gollancz. My first big project was this vampire series. Some book about a bar maid who could read thoughts and dated a reclusive vampire. I devoured the entire series over the course of a few weeks that summer. I was hooked. Much like the legions of fans of the Southern Vampire … More
