We have an S&S advance eBook release. John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things will be on-sale as an eBook October 2^nd, two weeks ahead of the print version.

Connolly creates a dark and triumphantly creative coming of age story for grownups in the tradition of C.S. Lewis about a boy’s journey towards adulthood.

Twelve-year-old David mourns the loss of his mother. He is angry and alone, with only the books on his shelf for company. But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness and he takes refuge in the myths and fairytales within them. As war rages across Europe, David is violently propelled into a land that is both a construct of his imagination yet frighteningly real, populated by wolves and worse-than-wolves, and ruled over by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a mysterious, legendary book . . .The Book of Lost Things.
