China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station is easily one of the most critically acclaimed fantasy novels of the past several decades, as well as a seminal entry in the “weird fiction” subgenre. That makes the book a natural fit for The Folio Society’s ever-growing library of deluxe hardcovers.
Just in time for the book’s 25th anniversary, The Folio Society will publish a massive 707-page hardcover edition of Perdido Street Station. The book includes a new afterword by Miéville and a new series of illustrations by artist Doug Bell. Bell’s artwork includes 8 black and white chapter opening images, 12 full-color illustrations, and a detailed map of the city of New Crobuzon.

This edition of Perdido Street Station is limited to 500 copies worldwide and will be released on Tuesday, March 18 on The Folio Society website.
Definitely - they basically had to invent a genre to put this wild collision of genres in.
There are two recentish book series I get evangelical about - this (and China Mieville’s early work) and Charles Stross’ Laundry Files.
Great series 👌
I particularly like the books and the extra stories where Bob is the MC.
Yeah, the New Management spin-off hasn’t landed as well with me, but I am looking forward to Bob’s return.
