Random House is listing Kraken for release in May, 2010. :) http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780345497499

Note: there is an informal 'embargo', at the author's request, on reviews giving away the central 'twist' to this novel before it is released. This makes it one of the toughest reviews I've had to write. On the eastern edge of Europe lies the city of Beszel. A young American archaeology student...

Hi there, a friend of mine and me have started this petition: petitiononline.com/pss12/petition.html we hope for your signs. best rgds

Finished this book a few days back and I thought it was pretty damn good on the whole, given the genre. It starts off somewhat disappointingly in the tired "Alice in Wonderland meets Heroic Quest Fantasy" that more than one author has employed when they write a "children's" book, and characters...

I finally tracked down a (PDF) copy of this issue of Dragon Magazine. I was expecting maybe a 12-page featurette, but was completely blown away: no fewer than 40 pages dedicated to Bas-Lag, with a myriad of information on places, creatures, history and so on, as well as dozens of gorgeous...

This is an overall theme or premise I picked up about Bas Lag from Mieville's books. It's not a theme that's noticeable in any particular book, but only when you compare the books to each other. I believe that Bas Lag is progressing backwards, technologically and culturally. For example, PSS...

I don't think I've seen this here before: Adamant Entertainment & China Miéville Present: TALES OF NEW CROBUZON :: GamingReport.com :: Where Gamers get their News

couple of quick questions. do/would you like like to know the origin of the huge skeletel remains and do you think CM is going to reveal all in some future novel? they're stating to bug me(in a good way):)

I haven't read anything by China Mieville but am curious about what I've heard about him. What book would be the best place to start to introduce me to his work?

I'm a member of the Yahoo group, but I'm wondering if China or his publishing company or someone keeps any kind of well-maintained site that is updated. Everything I can find is way out of date, and I can't even seem to find a real official site. Even this place has very little that is new...

For those who are interested, there's an interview with China in the Guardian in relation to his new book: China Mieville talks children's books with Michelle Pauli | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books I like his philosophy: "When I was moving into my new house a few years ago we were...

According to this Paramount Vantage has purchased the horror script "Details" from writer Dan Kay. Based on a short story by British fantasy writer China Mieville, "Details" centers on the psychological phenomenon called pareidolia and revolves around a girl who disappears after having uncovered...

Anyone know about this? There is an ARC online for it at eBay. Looks to be a good-sized young adult novel with some unusual twists. Anyone read it? A.

Is this book readable by itself or should I attempt to get 2 earlier books in series before reading this one ?

So, here is a thread in which we can discuss the short stories in Miéville's Looking for Jake - and other stories. I'll start out with my personal opinions of each of the stories. Needless to say, they all have in common being rather strange and disturbing, every one of them. Looking for...

As reported by Emerald City. Mieville wins the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Novel. Damn right:D

I just realised I own another Mieville story that I've never read. I bought Pete Crowther's "Cities" anthology so that I could read Paul DiPhillipo's "Year in Linear City", and didn't really look at the rest, but going through my books last night I noticed that the same anthology contained "The...
