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.
My latest short story Via Vortex is currently out in the UK anthology Sideways In
Crime, edited by the magnificent Lou Anders, published by the wonderful Solaris. Of the story,
Jonathan Wright reports in SFX that ...holding up the British end, John Meaney's Via Vortex is
built around a gory idea of how near-instant teleportation might be achieved. If we didn't know him
better, we'd be worried...
Obviously, I've no idea what he means. Ahem.
Bone Song is of course available in the US, with that magnificent cover. The sequel, Black Blood, will be coming out soon!
The paperback edition is appearing now in the UK, along with the hardcover and large-size (trade) paperback of Bone Song's sequel, entitled Dark Blood. On the shelves, right now! Yes, Dark Blood and Black Blood are different titles for the same book on opposite sides of the Atlantic. (As with Bone Song, there are differences between the UK and US editions. So if you're a completist...)
Also fairly recent in the US is the paperback of Resolution. It's all happening. I'm so glad you're here, that you're reading about my books, and that you're so interested.
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...
