FCon Publication Update

With a scant month to go, the original big launch at the FantasyCon weekend was to be Gary Greenwood's Kingston to Cable - after some deliberation due in no small part to financial constrants, this will be now pushed forward into October which frees up space and resources to reduce the Triquorum publication pile. Not sure if anyone remembers, but I've decided to turn each individual acceptance into a single chapbook publication, and come September you will be able to check out Simon Bestwick's Angel of the Silences along with The Legend of False Dreaming by Toiya Kristen Finlay.
Apart from those two, I've also brought forward Terry Grimwood's debut novella The Places Between which I've been meaning to publish for ages - not just for the story, but also the superb cover art by Ben Baldwin (click on the thumbnail for the full-size):
Pre-ordering details will be added swiftly.
In addition, the winner of the July free book giveaway is Tara Noble also from across the Pond - she wins a copy of Feral Companions; at the end of this month, one lucky winner will receive a copy of New Writings in the Fantastic.
On a closing note, and something which I briefly touched upon earlier, it must be said this year so far has been tough; always thankful to all the loyal customers who have continued to purchase books. Despite these tough times, I am looking to the future and with a little luck October will see one or two changes - moreso in an effort to offer more for your hard-earned.
If you're reading this, and you have any comments or insights into what you would like to read, then please do get in touch: always welcome feedback, since it does feel at times to be working within a vacuum, with little interaction apart from the occasional Convention.
Anyway, enough of my warbling; keep checking the site, and if you are at FCon then tap me on the shoulder and if I'm close to the bar then I'll buy you a drink (of course, if a hundred of you turn up then I may have to ration it slightly...)
(By the way, been meaning to add this... Pendragon Press does have a group page on Facebook, if you're interested of course!)

Feral Companions: first review
Posted by Chris on April 9, 2010 at 18:31

Courtesy of the esteemed Peter Tennent in the current issue of Black Static.
On Simon Maginn's Rattus:
"... a painstaking account of somebody’s life and mental health going down the crapper... [with] an ending that is subtle and suggestive [...] and all the more powerful for that."
On Gary Fry's The Invisible Architect of Psychopathy:
"... reads like a fusion of Crime and Punishment and Walter Mitty... a polished performance from a writer who is growing in stature with each new outing."
Remember: one day left to order the Feral/Silversands bundle before the slight price increase....

After due consideration and democratic consensus, the untitled double-novella collection is now called (drum roll):
Feral Companions
Also, it will appear in two states: limited hardcover and paperback. Prices, print run and pre-ordering details soon...
In other news: Triquorum will be changing... again; apologies to all authors past, present and future. Details soon.

2010: The Publishing Schedule (or The Year of the Gary)
Posted by Chris on July 8, 2009 at 20:21
Posted in: Book News
It will take a couple of weeks for the individual book pages to be produced, but for now the Return of Pendragon Press will be heralded by the following titles:
March (World Horror Brighton)
"MaginnFry" - Untitled Double-Novella Collection by Simon Maginn and Gary Fry
(illustrated by Simon Strantzas)
Easter (EasterCon)
Silversands by Gareth Powell
(illustrated by Vincent Chong)
Late Summer (FantasyCon)
To Usher the Dead by Gary McMahon
(illustrator to be confirmed)
Kingston to Cable by Gary Greenwood
(illustrated by Darius Hinks)
End of Year (Christmas BFS Open Night)
popCult! by David Barnett
(illustrated by Darius Hinks)
Depending on funds and timing, there could be another novella squeezed into the schedule but there will be at least two issues of Triquorum, so plenty of good reading material to experience.
