Welcome

Wake Up and Dream

My new novel, Wake Up and Dream, will be published in a limited edition in late 2010 by PS Publishing. You can now read an exclusive extract here. Ordering information will appear here as soon as it's available. Here's what Pete Crowther at PS has to say: “After the wonderful smorgasbord of emotion that was the multiple-award-winning Song Of Time, Ian Macleod could have gone two ways: the familiar and workmanlike approach of not taking any chances, or the bold sweeping-clean of the planning table in order to come up with something set to blow readers totally out of the water. Well, Wake Up And Dream is that latter…  in spades. It’s alternate reality Hollywood steeped in film noir, Dick meets Hammett…  a truly mesmerising word-trip that melds science, history and fantasy in  equal parts — and you know, you just can’t see the joins. We’re thrilled that Ian has allowed us to publish it — it’s a book that will take the genre’s readers by storm.”

Journeys---New Short Story Collection

My new short story collection, Journeys, will be published in August 2010 by Subterranean Press! here's the full story from the publisher's website. You can pre-order here and here for a larger image and list of stories includes 

Journeys will take you to extraordinary places. From a changed Jerusalem to windmills which draw their own wind. From windswept British campsites to vast slave empires which have never been. MacLeod’s breadth of vision in this collection is extraordinary, but what unites these stories is his abiding interest in humanity, and the way in which he combines the fantastically strange and with the memorably everyday. Expect widescreen wonder in Journeys, with many surprising truths, and some dazzling writing, along the way.
