TOM POLLOCK LAUNCHES ‘THE GLASS REPUBLIC’ FORBIDDEN PLANET LONDON FRIDAY 2nd AUGUST 6 – 7pm 2013
TOM POLLOCK will be launching THE GLASS REPUBLIC, sequel to the astonishing THE CITY’S SON (Jo Fletcher) at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Friday 2nd August from 6 – 7pm.
Pen’s life is all about secrets: the secret of the city’s spirits, deities and monsters her best friend Beth discovered, living just beyond the notice of modern Londoners; the secret of how she got the intricate scars that disfigure her so cruelly – and the most closely guarded secret of all: Parva, her mirror-sister, forged from her reflections in a school bathroom mirror. Pen’s reflected twin is the only girl who really understands her.
Then Parva is abducted and Pen makes a terrible bargain for the means to track her down. In London-Under-Glass, looks are currency, and Pen’s scars make her a rare and valuable commodity. But some in the reflected city will do anything to keep Pen from the secret of what happened to the sister who shared her face.
‘…nails that spot between utterly normal and blood-curdlingly weird perfectly’ Jon Courtenay Grimwood
Tom Pollock is a graduate of the Sussex University Creative Writing Programme, and a member of the London-based writers’ group The T-Party. He has lived everywhere from Scotland to Sumatra, but the peculiar magic of London has always drawn him back.
