Fantasy-Faction Vlog Project
Should moments like this be lost? Fantasy-Faction is trying to raise funds for a video camera to capture our upcoming Grim Gathering – featuring Joe Abercrombie, Peter V. Brett, Mark Lawrence, Peter Newman and Anna Stephens – and future events too. As you can see, the quality of the above is pretty awful, as it’s […]
Fantasy-Faction’s Grim Gathering
We are set to return for our 7th event… And it will be Fantasy-Faction’s Grimmest Gathering yet. So much fun has been had at past events, both by fans and authors, that publishers are trusting us with more authors than ever before…… When and where is it? The event will be held on Monday 25th […]
VOYAGER TAKEOVER: ANNOUNCING The City Of Brass
Well, the cake and coffee and various other sweet things have run out. The seating is comfortable, but we’re getting a bit bored of being lazy now (I know… I thought it would never happen as well!). You’d have thought that during our capture, Harper Voyager would have provided us with Netflix or a PS4 […]
Voyager Takeover: Announcing Witchsign
The takeover continues, although there’s a vent that we at Fantasy-Faction considered escaping from. When we talked about it though, the cakes, coffee, books and comfortable chairs provided by Voyager are better than our normal work conditions, so we thought we’d let them get on with it… Oh, Den Patrick! You’re about to hear about […]
HarperVoyager: ‘Coldmaker’ Announcement
A number of the HarperVoyager team (authors and editors) are over in Helsinki, celebrating WorldCon. They’ve been teasing us with pictures of a great event and selfies with George R.R. Martin… Check out this picture of Fantasy-Faction favourites Peter Newman and Emma Newman interviewing George R.R. Martin on a special WorldCon edition of Tea & […]

Why hello sports fans! Why are you reading this blog? This is about FANTASY. We here at HarperVoyager like to keep you on your toes and what better time to do that than at World Fantasy Con!

Cover Reveal for A Veil Of Spears
I can still remember the first time I heard of Bradley Beaulieu. It was 2011 when he was in the running for the Gemmell Morningstar Award with The Winds of Khalakovo. That was a great book and anyone who read it knew that Bradley would go far should he stick with Fantasy. However, Khalakovo was a […]
Marc Aplin’s Dog Walk
This coming Saturday, Fantasy-Faction’s founder Marc Aplin will be walking from Bristol to London (around 120 miles) non-stop to raise money and awareness for dog rescues across the United Kingdom. It is expected to take around 35 to 40 hours. In the UK, around 50,000 dogs are given up as ‘unwanted’ each year. With our support, […]
UK Cover Reveal for Ed McDonald’s ‘Blackwing’
I first heard that Ed McDonald had written a book through our Facebook Group… He happened to be a member and commented about having recently won a book contract. I followed Ed’s posts for a while and they all proved he was someone passionate about the genre and who obviously had real knowledge on the darker […]

Some exciting news from the folk over at Angry Robot Books today… They’ve signed an author named Micah Yongo who has written a fantasy novel set in a world inspired by Africa. It’s called Lost Gods and is the story of a teenage assassin hunted by his own Brotherhood, as he seeks to uncover a supernatural […]
Cover Reveal & Extract for ‘LOST BOY’ by CHRISTINA HENRY
If you’ve been keeping up with the recent retellings of Alice by Christina Henry, you will surely be excited to hear that she is set to release a new version of Peter Pan. For those who haven’t picked up Alice or it’s sequel The Red Queen yet, much of the story matches the original (the same white rabbit […]
Cover Reveal for ‘The Seven’ by Peter Newman
If you’ve read our reviews for The Vagrant and The Malice, you know how highly we rate the novels of Peter Newman. It’s very rare that you pick up a Fantasy book and find yourself unable to compare it to another, but the narrative style, those abstract prose, will leave you struggling to point to authors who even […]
