Alan Moore, the British author known for V For Vendetta and Watchmen among other works, has signed a deal with Bloomsbury for a story collection and a five-volume fantasy series called Long London.
In a statement, Moore said he was “bursting with fiction, bursting with prose” and thanked his publisher for its commitment to “expanding the empire of the word”.
Moore’s story collection Illuminations, scheduled for autumn 2022, takes in everything from ghosts to the big bang theory.
The first volume of Long London comes out in 2024.
