Spiderlight: New UK Hardback Release

‍A new Adrian Tchaikovsky release arrived at Portia House today in the form of the glorious hardback reissue of Spiderlight. 


‍A ragged band of misfits must fulfil their quest to conquer the Dark Lord Darvezian but their wits and the Light's blessing is not all they will require. The terms of their prophecy insist they recruit a hideous giant spider into their party. 

‍And if you think they are unhappy with that, how do you think Nth the Spider feels about it!


‍This short, fun, fantasy-quest hardback novel can be purchased from UK bookselling outlets including these:






"Spiderlight is a creepy-crawly treat from the master of non-human heroes, a joy from beginning to end," 

Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford and The Severed Streets.

"Tchaikovsky pokes gentle fun at some classic tropes and deftly uses others in a way that shows his deep love for and broad knowledge of the genre," SF Bluestocking
