Solaris Books is on
BleedingCool.com today. The site is usually reserved for comic book news, but obviously they thought they'd make an exception for us because we're just so damn awesome. Or it could have had something to do with the fact that we got
Batman and Robin artist Fraser Irving to draw our cover for
Kultus.
Kultus, by Richard Ford, will be released November 2011. Lucky me though, I have the first draft right here and it's fantastic. Worth the wait, I promise! Here's the blurb to satisfy your curiosity for now...
Thaddeus Blaklok – mercenary, demonist, bastard and thug-for-hire – is pressed into retrieving a mysterious key for his clandestine benefactors. Little does he know that other parties seek to secure this artefact for their own nefarious ends and soon he is pursued by brutal cultists, bloodthirsty gangsters, deadly mercenaries and hell spawned monsters, all bent on stopping him by any means necessary.
In a lightning-paced quest that takes him across the length and breadth of the steam-fuelled city of Manufactory, Blaklok must use his wits and his own demonic powers to keep the key from those who would use it for ill, and open the gates to Hell itself.
