Richard Morgan — THE STEEL REMAINS Coming Soon

SubterraneanPress.com has an announcement about a very cool book coming out soon.  I’m very much looking forward to it..

We’re on the verge of releasing one of the most acclaimed and controversial fantasies of recent years.

As Richard K. Morgan writes of his new novel, The Steel Remains: “If you had to–really had to–kill someone, which way would you rather they made you do it? With a pistol, or with an axe?

Exactly. So welcome to the brutal world of Ringil Angeleyes, scarred hero of Gallows Gap and death-wish-furious, semi-retired warrior aristocrat. I’ve been talking a good fight about fantasy noir for a while – now I’m putting my money where my mouth is. The Steel Remains is a grubby, blood-spattered trawl through exactly how unpleasant it might be to actually have to live in the average fantasy universe. Can you do noir in a fantasy landscape? You can certainly try…”

We’ve already approved the printed but not yet bound pages for The Steel Remains, so we’re within a couple of weeks of shipping Mr. Morgan’s epic fantasy, the first of three volumes. SubPress favorite Vincent Chong has contributed one our best covers ever, along with full-color endsheets (different for the front and back of the book) and a frontispiece. The book itself is 440 pages, printed in two colors throughout, on 80# Finch paper. It’s truly going to be a spectacular production.
