#SPFBO 5 Cover Contest
Last year’s cover contest was splendid. Each of the ten bloggers nominated the top three covers from their batch before voting for their favorites from the final pool of thirty. There were some truly stunning gems fighting for the title, which eventually went to Benadict Patrick’s entry Those Brave, Foolish Souls from the City of […]

The Lost Puzzler by Eyal Kless – Cover Reveal
There aren’t a huge amount of fantasy/science fiction hybrids and probably for good reason; it’s a very hard balance to strike. If the reader feels for even a moment that the fantasy elements are there for the sake of being there (i.e. the science fiction elements should have resulted in the civilisation moving on – […]
Red Sister by Mark Lawrence – Paperback Cover Reveal

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.

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!).

Voyager Takeover: Announcing Witchsign
The takeover continues, although there’s a vent that we at Fantasy-Faction considered escaping from.

You’re about to hear about […]

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 […]
