Alan Moore’s Next Books Sound Alan Moore-y as Hell

The generator has signed with Bloomsbury UK , but the genuine news is his upcomingfiction . The first is a book of curt stories entitle Illuminations , and the other , more epical body of work is a massive five - loudness series style Long London . The official descriptions : “ Illuminations is an astonishing , rich , and broad compendium of short tarradiddle , each feature some kind of light or realization . From ghosts and otherworldly creatures to the four horsemen of the Revelation to the Boltzmann brains fashion the universe at the big bang , Alan Moore ’s Illuminations is a series of beguiling and elegantly craft narration that bring out the full index of resource and magic . ”

Then Long London is “ a series about ‘ a sometimes - accessible shadow urban center that is beyond fourth dimension . ’ This is a hugely inventive , atmospherical , mythical populace of murder , thaumaturgy and folly . It is a quintet of novels that drag across the twentieth century , starting in the eggshell - shocked and unravelled London of 1949 , and following the populations of writers , criminals , artists , and magician through that intimate metropolis and a version of London just beyond our knowledge . ”

If you ’ve read Moore ’s 2016 stand - alone novel Jerusalem , which by itself was so mazy to arguably be also “ sometimes - approachable , ” the idea of Moore having five book to tell a single taradiddle is intimidating , if not instantly threatening . But Jerusalem was also quite good , and Alan Moore stay on Alan Moore , so both Illuminations and Long London especially stand to be just more marvel in Moore ’s canon . in good order now , Bloomsbury plan to release Illuminations in the tumble of 2022 and the first volume of Long London sometime in 2024 . Of course , it take Moore a full decade to write Jerusalem , so I would n’t necessarily save the date just yet .
