‘Tis the season for listing upcoming books for 2015 that one is excited by the prospect of reading, and I see no reason to not get in on this game! I’m going to try to keep it to only a couple of books each month, otherwise this post will truly be monstrous, though… This is almost entirely drawn from Locus’ December 2015 list of forthcoming books, and hence is light on anything from the back end of 2015.

What am I missing? What should I be looking forward to, but haven’t included here? What have I included but shouldn’t have – actually, don’t answer that one… The comments section is open; please chip in!
*=Added on later recommendation
^=Release date corrected
Intellectus Speculativus 
I think some of those release dates are off — Company Town has moved from Angry Robot to Tor, and is now (I believe) scheduled for the autumn, and Amazon says Regeneration isn’t due until July.
Also on my list are Tamaruq by EJ Swift (Del Rey, January), Clade by James Bradley (Penguin RH, Jan), Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Solaris, Feb), UK editions of various bits of Elizabeth Bear’s backlist (Gollancz), The Chimes by Anna Smaill (Sceptre, Feb), The Swan Book by Alexis Wright (Constable, March), Get in Trouble by Kelly Link (Canongate, March), Escape from Baghdad! by Saad Hossain (Unnamed, March), The Power by Naomi Alderman (Viking, April), Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson (Orbit, May), The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge (Macmillan, May), The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan (Heinemann, July), The Seed Collectors by Scarlett Thomas (Canongate, July), Prodigies by Angelica Gorodischer (Small Beer, August), Luna by Ian McDonald (Gollancz, September).
Regeneration’s publication date has indeed been pushed from April to July. Blame the Tardy Author.
That Tardy Author, they get eveywhere.
[…] Strange Horizons 2014 in Review post. Also nice to see Sorcerer to the Crown pop up on a couple of “anticipated in 2015″ lists. Sort of makes it feel more […]
[…] Morgan‘s blog, Ana Grilo’s list at Kirkus, Lady Business, Fantasy Cafe, D. Franklin at Intellectus Speculativus, and Mihai Adascalitei’s Dark Wolf’s Fantasy Reviews. Aka, wow, very humbled. Thank you […]
I just realized this was coming up! Nalo Hopkinson short story collection!! WANTWANTWANT
The same publisher also has a Hannu Rajaniemi short story collection listed as forthcoming.
And The Very Best of Kate Elliott is coming Feb 2014!
Ohh, that sounds fantastic! I actually need to read Rajaniemi’s latest novel at some point, I should get around to that… but new Hopkinson volume is excellent news, & I’ve already got a preorder for Kate’s collection! 😀 Thanks Bogi!
