New Cover Reveal
And Put Away Childish Things by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Published by Rebellion
US Hardback Publication 28 March 2023
UK Hardback Publication 30 March 2023
Adrian says, “In March my new novella, And Put Away Childish Things, will hit the shelves. This is the third of the loose conceptual sequence that we’re calling Terrible Worlds: Destinations, which started with Walking to Aldebaran and then went onto One Day All This Will Be Yours.”
Cover art: Gemma Sheldrake.
“Childish Things is the story of middle-aged TV presenter Harry Bodie, the portal fantasy world his grandmother wrote a beloved series of books about, and its horrible decayed inhabitants who are fed up of waiting for Harry to come visit.”
Read more including an extract from Chapter 1 at the following website:
“This completes the second ‘not-really-a-trilogy’ that I’ve written for Solaris (the first, Terrible Worlds : Revolutions was comprised of Ironclads, Firewalkers and Ogres). These are sets of books that have thematic links but don’t in any way involve the same setting/characters, in case anyone was wondering where Gary Rendell turns up in One Day.
I’ve been asked to do another two sets (and have in fact written some already, that won’t see the light of day until next year), and I’m tentatively going for Transformations and Innovations although that’s definitely subject to change.”
This wonderful cover art has been created by Gemma Sheldrake.
