  Clockwork City Extract Reveal!

  By Sam Bradbury

  

  Next month, Gideon Tau and his foul-mouth alcoholic sidekick, Dog, return for another adventure in Clockwork City. Sequel to Poison City, Clockwork City sees them having to contend with Fae gangs fighting for territory, the murder-suicide of two Delphic agents and the seven deadly sins.

  Oh, and did I mention they also have to run a heist to break into the most secure bank in Faerie? Because that’s on the agenda too. And if they fail? An ancient horned god will destroy London.

  Just a typical day’s work, right?

  The Poison City Soundtrack

  By Paul Crilley

  

  What I really want to do is direct.

  No, not really. Looks like too much hard work. But I do love movies. Like, really love them. So I like to cast my books and make soundtracks for them. I thought it might be fun to put the soundtrack for Poison City up here so that if anyone wants to listen as they read, or indeed laugh at my taste in music, then you can. Yes, I am that old fogey who thinks 90s music is better than the crap we get nowadays. Also, get off my lawn you kids.

  Friday Favourites: Favourite Dogs from Fiction

  By Anne Perry

  

  To celebrate the publication of Paul Crilley’s wonderful Poison City, which features the unforgettable trash-talking, sherry-drinking, attitude-having demon dog Dog, we’ve listed a few of our favourite fictional dogs. Some are from beloved books from our childhood (Old Yeller! Sniff.) some are from more recent favourites (*glares at Patrick Ness*) and all are equally lovable.

  Read chapter one of Poison City!

  By

  

  In which our not so heroic hero returns home only to find that he forgot his dog’s sherry. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

  Cover reveal: Poison City by Paul Crilley

  By Fleur Clarke

  

  This summer we publish Poison City, the first book in a South African crime series that sees investigator Gideon Tau pitted against the forces of darkness with nothing but a boozy dog and a magic wand made out of John Dee’s shin to help him. Suffice to say: more fun than a barrel of monkeys drinking margaritas.

  7 alternate holiday movies to watch filled with snark and black humour

  By Paul Crilley

  

  Ah, Christmas. A time for melting into the couch with our third box of Quality Street and umpteenth cup of tea. A time for vegging out in front of the telly watching adverts featuring CGI cats and others that shamelessly pull on our heart strings making us cry while we suck up the mince pie crumbs from our onesie.

  You know what I say? Screw all that. We need more snark and black humor at Christmas. The perfect antidote to all that schmaltz and tinsel. Bah humbug indeed!
