Solaris to publish Gothic novella by Sarah Monette

Solaris is delighted to announce the acquisition of its third and final Solaris Satellite novella for 2023, A Theory of Haunting by Sarah Monette.

Monette, who also wrote the critically acclaimed The Goblin Emperor as Katherine Addison, returns to the world of 19th century museum archivist Kyle Murchison Booth in this haunted house mystery for fans of M. R. James and Sarah Waters. The star of a series of short stories previously collected in The Bone Key, Booth attracts yet more supernatural mishaps in his latest adventure that welcomes new and familiar readers alike.

A Theory of Haunting will be released in August 2023.

Exclusive World English Language Rights were acquired by Amanda Rutter from Cameron McClure at the Donald Maass Literary Agency.

Author Sarah Monette on the acquisition:

“It took me a long time to write this novella, so I’m very excited to be working with Solaris to see it in print.”

Acquiring Editor Amanda Rutter:

“Having been an ardent fan of Sarah in her Katherine Addison guise, I was absolutely thrilled to learn that there was a whole other world and wealth of stories to explore in the Kyle Murchison Booth canon. This standalone novella about Mr Booth is the perfect way to discover the necromantic mysteries he dwells within, and I am delighted that Solaris will be publishing A Theory of Haunting.”

Sarah Monette and Katherine Addison are the same person. She has published more than sixty short stories, eight solo novels, and four collaborations with her friend Elizabeth Bear. Her most recent novel is The Grief of Stones (Tor Books/Solaris, 2022). The Goblin Emperor (Tor Books, 2014) won the 2015 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel and was a finalist for the Hugo, the Nebula, and the World Fantasy Award. The Angel of the Crows (Tor Books/Solaris, 2020) was a finalist for the Locus Award. The Witness for the Dead (Tor Books/Solaris, 2021) was a finalist for the Locus Award and shortlisted for the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award. The Grief of Stones was longlisted for the British Science Fiction Award for Best Novel. You can find her on Patreon as pennyvixen. She lives, with spouse, cats, and books, somewhere in the Upper Midwest.

Celehar’s life as the Witness for the Dead of Amalo grows less isolated as his circle of friends grows larger.

Foundling boys go to the Prelacies; foundling girls are sold into service, or worse.

At once touching and shattering, Celehar’s witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses.

The love of his friends will lead him out again.

Revealing the cover for The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison

The Witness for the Dead

We are very excited to reveal the UK cover for the highly anticipated The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison!

From the author of The Angel of The Crows and The Goblin Emperor comes the long-awaited return to the bestselling, award-winning, world of Maia, a young man of mixed Elven and Goblin heritage, who unexpectedly becomes Emperor of the Elflands.

Cover design by James Jones.

Murder, politics and intrigue. 

When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead.

Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. Now he lives in the City of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference.

 He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honestly will not permit him to live quietly.

The Witness for the Dead is out in paperback, eBook, and audiobook 22 July 2021 (UK).
