Black Blood (US title)

I'm John Meaney, science fiction and fantasy author. Welcome to my virtual home... Please come in, wander round, feel comfortable, and enjoy. Pull up a chair, and let's catch up on what's happening.

Progress report: currently halfway through the 2nd draft of ABSORPTION, being the first volume of the Ragnarok trilogy. Superstar artist Jim Burns has painted the cover already.

Ragnarok: volume 1

Bone Song is available in the US in handy paperback size (mass market, technically), and Black Blood is out in hardcover. Don't you just love those covers?

My latest short stories are: From The Heart in the New Space Opera 2; Emptier Than Void in Subterfuge; and Necroflux Day in The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction v.3. Read more about them on the short fiction page.

A little note here: Black Blood and Dark Blood are the same book, with different titles depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on! If you're going to buy multiple copies of my books, please do it on purpose!

I've got several new projects under way, including the Ragnarok trilogy. Other books may be appearing under a pseudonym.

I'm so glad you're here, that you're reading about my books, and that you're so interested.

The nice things people say...

One thing Dark Blood doesn't do is let you relax... One of the most satisfying border crossing fusions of Dark Fantasy, Horror and hard Science Fiction in years... Anthony Brown, Starburst
