GREAT ROBOTS OF HISTORY is published today! Here I am, celebrating the only way I know how: with an awkward half-smile.

The collection contains 16 tales of robots and robot-like figures from history and myth, and many of the stories are quite weird and in unusual formats. Eleven were previously published in venues such as Interzone, Nightscript and Shoreline of Infinity, and ‘The Brazen Head of Westinghouse’ won the British Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction in 2024. Six stories are new to this collection – so today’s also a milestone in terms of publication of the most new short fiction I’ve ever released at one time.
