It seems that our editorial assistant has too much time on his hands (we’ll fix that), and was inspired to recreate, in Lego, the cover for Jeff Noon’s new book A Man of Shadows, designed by master cover artist Will Staehle.
From Jeff:
“Seeing Nick’s fantastic Lego remix of the A Man of Shadows cover reminded me that a novel is never quite finished: it exists in various forms, some more jagged than
In case you’ve yet to hear, we’re publishing Jeff Noon’s highly anticipated new novel A Man of Shadows this August.
Now, we don’t often do physical advanced reading copies (ARCs) of our novels but, as a special treat, we did arrange for a limited run of physical ARCs for the novel. These were snapped up in record time, but we did manage to wrestle a single
You’ll want to pay attention Robots, there’s some books up for grabs!

Hey everyone,
Round up time again, and this week we’re taking a look at our 100th book(!), Adam Christopher’s Hang Wire. We’ve been getting some great reviews, and there are also some cool competitions running to celebrate 100 Angry Robot books!
We’ve had such a great response to Hang Wire, but before we dive into what you guys have been saying about it, let’s take a look at some of things Adam has been up to.
To celebrate the publication of our 100th book in a week or so (Hang Wire by Adam Christopher), readers of Tor.com in the US and Canada (excluding Quebec) can win a flash USB drive containing all 100 books (plus a few extra surprises).
For readers everywhere else who are not eligible to enter, we’ll have something for you very soon. Oh, yes.
To celebrate his starred review from Booklist for Hang Wire, Adam Christopher, author of Empire State, Seven Wonders, The Age Atomic and upcoming Hang Wire, is running an amazing contest over on his site.

Happy Monday, one and all!
Last week we ran a competition asking you to change our titles into something a bit more festive, and this was no challenge for you lot! We had quite the range of answers, some made us laugh and others groan with the cheese factor, but we did enjoy reading them. It was no easy decision but there must be a winner…but before that, here’s a reminder of the prize:
And
Want to smell like an Elizabethan? Have you seen the fabulous giveaway running over on author Anne Lyle’s blog?

Hey everyone!
Amanda, Vicky and I have just decorated the office, and as the silly season hits the AR HQ, we’d like to offer you the change to share in our festive excitement. We’ve got a great competition for you…and the prizes are here, in our tree:
About 4 weeks ago we ran a competition to recreate one of our book covers using toys, people, posts of custard – whatever.
The reason we’ve waited until now to publish the winners is not because we forgot to check the email account that the entries were sent into, oh no! The reason is far more interesting than that, we’re sure – and when we’ve worked out what the reason actually is, we might post it here. (more…)
We love our authors, dearly. Especially when they do weird and wonderful things like this:
(And no, we’re not sure why the covers are staggered like that – let’s just pretend it’s a deliberate design choice, and forget all about it).
Anne has recreated all three of her Night’s Masque books using Playmobil toys. See
Not that I am in anyway superstitious (only when it comes to the order of which I put on my football gear. Oh, and magpies. And not putting new shoes on a table. And fairy forts, or single trees in fields, and it just makes sense to cross a river if you’re being chased by evil spirits – of course they can’t reach you then) BUT IF I WAS, Friday 13th might not be my favourite day.
So how’s about Angry Robot make Friday 13th a lucky day? To win 13 of our titles, all you have to do is
Last month we held our Robot For A Day competition, and now we can reveal the names of the winners!
Mark Nuhfer is our overseas winner, and wins a choice of 12 Angry Robot books – either physical, or pre-loaded onto a Nook ebook reader.
Congratulations, Mark!
And in the UK, Nikki Walters is the lucky recipient of the main prize: as well as the same prize as Mark, Nikki gets to come to Angry Robot Towers in Nottingham, and spend
