The official Tinder book trailer

Our friends over at Fierce Fiction have come up trumps this autumn; when Gollancz saw the beautiful Tinder hardback editions, they went a little nuts for them, as did a few of their followers on Twitter. Tinder is the gorgeous new book from Sally Gardner, and illustrated by David Roberts. Inspired by the fairy tale The Tinderbox, it is the story of Otto Hundebiss, who is tired of war, and the beautiful Safire – pure of heart and spirit. When Otto defies Death, he walks a dangerous path. A half beast half man gives him shoes and dice which will lead him deep into a…

We’re very excited to be sharing a steamy chapter from Sarah Pinborough‘s forthcoming Poison, a modern day fairy tale with a sexy edge. Poison tells the story of Snow White, but not as you know her. In this contemporary re-imagining of the classic fairy tale, Snow White behaves slightly differently than you might expect – drinking beer with the dwarves being at top of the list. This modern take on the classic puts the characters you know and love in a whole new light, and of course, the passion and romance are very much still alive. Here at Gollancz Towers we…
