The Black Elfstone Now Published In Paperback

The Black Elfstone, Book One of the Fall of Shannara, is now published in mass market paperback!

The first book of the triumphant and epic four-part conclusion to the Shannara series, from one of the all-time masters of fantasy.

Across the Four Lands, peace has reigned for generations. But now, in the far north, an unknown enemy is massing. More troubling than the carnage is the strange and wondrous power wielded by the attackers—a breed of magic unfamiliar even to the Druid order. Fearing t...

Pre-Order: Signed Copies of Street Freaks

The pre-order period for Street Freaks by Terry Brooks is now open!

While the new Shannara novel The Skaar Invasion publishes June 19th, this new Brooks book publishes in October. I am excited for all of you to read it. I have been Terry’s webmaster for almost twenty years and during that time many readers have asked if he’d be writing something unrelated to Shannara or Landover, a new book that would surprise his readers with a new world, new characters, new conflict.

Street Freaks is that n...

Details About Street Freaks Coming March 4th!

October 2018 will see a major SF publication.

Grim Oak Press is proud to be publishing Street Freaks by bestselling author Terry Brooks. It is a brand new science fiction title from the master of epic fantasy, a book that is close to the author’s heart and one I loved so much I offered to publish. It is quite different from anything else he has written — and yet still possesses the literary magic we have come to expect from his work.

We have announced very little about Street Freaks. That ch...

BrooksBlog: The Passing of Ursula K. Le Guin

When I think of Ursula Le Guin, I think of the word ‘fierce.’ Not the growling, posturing, in-your-face kind of fierce, but the quietly determined, undeniably intelligent kind of fierce. She was so smart and so ready and able to contradict those fools who chose to insist that the world and those who live in it were something they were not.

I knew her work before I knew her, and like everyone I know I was in awe of her writing. I only got to meet her about five years ago. She lived part-time j...

Cover Reveal: The Limited Edition of The Wishsong of Shannara

Artist Marc Simonetti has finished the cover artwork for the Grim Oak Press limited edition of The Wishsong of Shannara! Featuring Brin as she enters the Maelmord, I think Marc captures the evil essence of the world that the Ohmsford as just entered into. And the Ildatch awaits.

To pre-order your copy signed by Marc and Terry Brooks, click HERE! The Elfstones of Shannara is still available in limited quantity too.

Hope you are having a great week!

BrooksBlog: How Much I Am Enjoying The Shannara Chronicles

Dear Readers,

Jambo! Now that I am back from a month of research and plot development in Africa, I am slipping back into my old life, writing the third book now in the Fall of Shannara cycle which began publishing earlier this year as well as watching the finished episodes of The Shannara Chronicles.

Because I have been absent for so much of the filming and editing, I wanted to write a little something about my reaction to what I have seen so far of the finished episodes. I regret I couldn’t...
