The pain of falling for the wrong girl. A map to an unknown town. A world behind our own. A stunning new novel.

When he finds part of a map to somewhere that doesn’t exist, broken-hearted Carl convinces himself it is the city of his dreams, where the elusive and beautiful Annie will agree to meet him again. But do the streets on the map reveal the land of his dreams or the world of his worst nightmares?

With stunning gold foil cover and a story that will appeal to fans of China Miéville and Neil Gaiman, Regicide is a powerful novel from a master of the macabre that takes readers into a baroque, nightmarish otherworld that will leave them dizzy.

Press Release: Solaris acquires urban fantasy sequel

Solaris Books has acquired PANDAEMONIUM, the second volume of an urban fantasy series from pseudonymous author ‘Ben Macallan’.

The title will be the first sequel to Desdaemona, published last month by Solaris, and is due for publication late in 2012.

In Desdaemona – Macallan’s terrifying, sexy, sinister urban fantasy debut – Jordan may look like a teenager but he treads the line between mundane reality and the supernatural in a world where vampires don’t glitter and runaways don’t just disappear – they’re hunted.

Macallan is not only a pseudonym of award-winning crime and thriller writer Chaz Brenchley, but has also appeared as a character in his books, Dead of Light and Light Errant.

The agent was John Jarrold, and the deal is for Worldwide English Rights.

Jonathan Oliver, editor-in-chief of Solaris, said:
“It's a delight to be working with Ben again. He had such a strong debut with Desdaemona and has proved that he is a fresh new voice in urban fantasy.”
