We are thrilled to announce our two new books that will be with readers this summer! Written by daring, fresh voices in literature, these resonant titles will be available for pre-order in June.
The first book we’re proud to present is ‘Many Ways to Die’, a collection of short stories detailing resilience and loss within marginalised communities. From Nigerian author Chukwuemeka Famous, this collection highlights human resilience, with Famous proving himself to be a resonant and evocative writer of today. These short stories reflect Famous’ African experience, guaranteed to provide an interesting and poignant read for all, with its themes of community and identity. As a winner of the Ebedi International Writers Residency, Chukwuemeka Famous brings his recognised intellect and talent to this new piece.
The second title we’re proud to present is Joseph Nnamdi’s ‘For the Condemned’, a dark fantasy thriller interweaving themes of power and justice throughout. Set in the 2000s, Nnamdi asks readers universal questions regarding morality, allowing for an active and stimulating read. This novel is bound to keep readers gripped, with its thought-provoking themes and immersive writing. Nnamdi is known for his exploration of transformation and stories that feel otherworldly, yet still grounded in humanity. The Roaring Lion Newcastle cannot wait to share this new addition, ‘For the Condemned’.
These two new releases are bold and impactful works from authors whom we are proud to invite into our literary family. At The Roaring Lion Newcastle, we pride ourselves on showcasing diverse authors and stories in our attempt to contribute towards social change, and these novels reflect authentic and confrontational narratives from diverse voices, which we are proud to support. From a publishing house that thrives on amplifying subversive, sharp, and necessary voices. We hope that ‘Many Ways to Die’ and ‘For the Condemned’ will be on your shelves shortly.
We can’t wait to introduce readers to our new titles, and we urge you to keep an eye on our channels for more exciting insights and updates! TRLN is calling all readers, writers, and creatives to watch out for these releases, as we can guarantee a read that will stay with you long after the last page.
