Шаблон:Infobox publisher

Abaddon Books is a British publishing imprint, founded in 2006.[1] It is part of the Rebellion group of companies, along with publishing companies Solaris Books, 2000 AD, 2000 AD Graphic Novels, and Cubicle 7.[2]

Abaddon publishes "shared world" novels in the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres.[3] Describing itself as a return to "the good old days of pulp fiction", the imprint focuses on shorter, action-driven novels with dark or horrific themes.[4]

The line was founded by Jonathan Oliver,[3] who has been Editor-in-Chief of Abaddon and Solaris Books since Rebellion bought the latter from BL Publishing in 2009.[5]

Shared-world series

Abaddon publishes "shared-world" novels set in a number of narrative settings, with two or more authors writing in each series. Abaddon's editorial team creates the worlds in collaboration with the authors, placing an emphasis on original and engaging ideas:

The imprint is currently publishing books in six series:

  • The Afterblight Chronicles, a post-apocalyptic setting in which cults and warlords run rampant over the survivors of a global plague.
  • The Infernal Game, an espionage series incorporating elements of urban fantasy and gothic horror.
  • No Man's World, an exploration story about a company of World War I soldiers inexplicably transported to an alien world.
  • Pax Britannia, a steampunk alternate history in which a 160-year-old Queen Victoria still governs the British Empire towards the end of the twentieth century.
  • Tomes of the Dead, not a single shared world, but a series of stand-alone zombie stories marked by subversion or reinterpretation of the genre.[6]
  • Twilight of Kerberos, a "sword and sorcery" setting on a small world orbiting the gas giant Kerberos, inhabited by the remnants of lost civilizations.

A seventh series was announced in 2010:

A further two series were launched in the imprint's first year, but have since ceased:

  • Dreams of Inan, a science fantasy series set on a futuristic world in which magic acts as a nuclear-style deterrent. The series concluded with The Worm That Wasn't in 2007.
  • Sniper Elite, an alternate history based in the world of the Sniper Elite games. The series included only a single book, The Spear of Destiny, in 2006.
