You know when you’re sat on a train or wandering around the park and you walk past someone reading ‘that book’ you’ve been really excited about? You do a double-take before glaring at them in shock and anger: how do they have ‘that book’ when it’s not even out yet!? Finally it dawns on you. With that pesky thing called real-life on your mind, you’d totally forgotten that the release date of ‘that book’ was last month! You’d totally forgotten about it….
Well, no more! From now on: Fantasy-Faction’s got your back.
Each month, around the 21st, we’ll be running a feature called “The Month Ahead” where we’ll be listing as many fantasy upcoming fantasy books as we can (and a few Horror / Sci-Fi titles we are excited about too). We’ll give preference to new releases, but will also try to list re-releases of paperbacks (e.g. first time paperback release of novels that were released in hardback the year before and Masterwork editions, etc).
We hope you enjoy it and if we miss anything then please add them to the comments section below!
