London’s Forbidden Planet is hosting a launch, not for a book or author, but for a publishing imprint.
Press and Marketing Manager Danie L. Ware writes “It’s a brand-fusion to reinvent science fiction in the UK, a union that may yet shake London to the core. Forbidden Planet are delighted to be hosting the UK Launch of Angry Robot Books on Saturday 10 October (12:30-2PM) at the Forbidden Planet Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London WC2H 8JR.
“Angry Robot is a new imprint, a wickedly fresh take on the SF, F, and WTF industry. Publishing the best in dark and edgy fiction from renowned authors and the hottest in up-and-coming new talent, the Robot brings you: teenage serial killers, zombie detectives, howling axes, sex-crazed vampires, murderous gods, and steampunk swordfights. And that’s for starters.
“Featured guests Dan Abnett (Triumff), Andy Remic (Kell’s Legend), and Colin Harvey (Winter Song) will be there to allay (or possibly enhance) fears, chat to fans, answer questions and sign copies of their Angry Robot titles. There will be a chance to meet Robot-Minions Marco, Lee, and Chris, plus free prints of the Larry Rostant cover of Triumff and the Kell’s Legend promotional video, up close and personal. There will also be a wide range of Angry Robot’s other titles (and possibly authors!) available.
“Plus we’ve heard some rumours about Mister Remic’s axe…”
