This is our Head Book Buyer, Chris Hall's list of his three most anticipated releases for August. They are,
Childhood Under Siege, by is the writer of The Corporation. Childhood Under Siege is a behind the scenes look at the widespread manipulation of children by profit-seeking corporations and of society's failure to protect them.
The Sense of an Ending, by . is an old favourite who seems
to be on the rise again with his last few books, particularly Pulse, his set of short stories released last spring.
Empty Family, by Colm Toibin. I read The Master a few years
ago and found it to be too much Henry James. Unfortunately that made me
write off . I recently read Brooklyn though and now
I know what the fuss is about. Empty Family is due out in paperback this
month and I can now recommend Toibin enthusiastically.
I'm a sucker for Norse Mythology and Urban Fantasy. When I saw that ' series starring blacksmith Sarah Beauhall fused the two together I became very interested indeed.
Black Blade Blues and its sequel, Honeyed Words both feature a fabulous cast of characters and a unique take on my favourite myth cycle, and I can't recommend the series highly enough. I was fortunate to meet J.A. Pitts at 2010's World Fantasy Convention in Columbus, Ohio and he was gracious enough to agree to answer some questions about his writing. Honeyed Words will be releasing July 5th, 2011.
