Love, Death + Robots S3, featuring ME!

The cat is out of the bag! I am so excited this news is finally being released. I’ve been sitting on this amazing thing, sworn to secrecy, for more than two years! My story “In Vaulted Halls Entombed” has been adapted into an amazing animation for the new season of the Netflix Original Series, LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS. I couldn’t be more excited about it! I’ve only seen a few stills from the episode thus far, so I’ll see it for the first time along with everyone else when Season 3 drops on May 20th.

The story was originally published in the SNAFU: Survival of the Fittest anthology (ed. Geoff Brown & A J Spedding, Cohesion Press) in September 2015. The following year it won the Australian Shadows Paul Haines Award for Long Fiction. Then it was translated into German for the Best of SNAFU anthology, (Festa, 2018). It’s reprinted in my second short story collection, Served Cold. Then it was picked up by Blur Studios for the Netflix Original Series LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS. I love that series so much, it’s an incredible thrill to have a story featured in it.

To say this story has worked its arse off for me is an understatement.

You can read the story in Survival of the Fittest or Served Cold, as mentioned above, or you can read all the stories from LD+R season 2 and 3 in a brand new anthology from Cohesion Press. (They also released the anthology of all the S1 stories.)

Here’s a still from my episode. How amazing does it look?

I’m not entirely sure how close to the original story they stayed with the adaptation. I know they changed the main character to a woman, which is more than fine with me. Beyond that, the handful of stills I’ve seen look pretty close to what I wrote. I can’t wait to finally see the episode.

Here’s a rundown of all the S3 stories at Animation World Network. And below you can see the trailer for season 3:

Bring on the 20th of May!
