My Ambergris novel, Shriek, just happens to coincide with my moving from the shorter lengths to true novel length. Some of the work is longer, in novella form. It is meant as pieces that make a concerted whole. Jeff Vandermeer- My first Ambergris book, City of Saints, is more of a mosaic novel than a series of short stories. What can readers expect from your first full-length novel in Ambergris, and why was now the time to release the effort now after a series of short stories and collections? Your new novel, one set in your much-lauded Ambergris setting was recently released in the U.K, and will be released in the U.S. From City of Saints and Madmen, to Veniss Underground, to his collection Secret Life and now his latest work Shriek: an afterword to a book that doesn’t exist, every journey undertaken has been one to a different place, even if at times occurring in the same location or a few steps from it. This week my guest is a multiple Word Fantasy Award winning author and editor of efforts that have become recent fixtures in fan favorite lists, writing a brand of fantastic fiction that the Guardian admits “Could well be creating one of the dominant literary forms of the 21 century”.
