Look at that cover. Is it spooky or what? (I can say confidentally that it is designed it to be unsettling because I designed it. And painted it! It’s a real painting! If you come to the launch party you’ll be able to see it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUGUST 14th! Preordering is available now at Brain Lag<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press Release:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

What starts as a science fiction adventure turns into a harrowing thriller in the upcoming novel The Curve of the Corridor<\/a><\/em> by Victoria Feistner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arkship Guiana<\/em> making its way to its new planetary home with its family of eight. The cargo ship Clemenestra<\/em> making a cargo run with its captain and pilot. Routine missions, until space itself seems to fight their progress. Where they end up, they could never expect, and returning to what they know may be impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Curve of the Corridor<\/em> combines a threat grounded in solid science fiction with a well developed universe as humans have reached into the stars, along with all the messy politics and prejudices that accompany it. With its cast of diverse and relatable characters struggling against problems much bigger than them, readers will immediately be hooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author Grace Seybold (Beneath Ceaseless Skies<\/em>, Star*Line<\/em>, Clarkesworld<\/em>) called the book, \u201cA complex and satisfying voyage through a richly imagined future. Fans of emotionally resonant, large-canvas space opera in the manner of Ann Leckie and Arkady Martine will love Feistner\u2019s The Curve of the Corridor<\/em>.\u201d Publishers Weekly praised Feistner\u2019s \u201chumorous, energetic prose\u201d in her previous book, Blackout Odyssey<\/a><\/em>. Booklist concurred, adding that the star was an \u201cengaging and charmingly stubborn protagonist who is easy to root for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Curve of the Corridor<\/em> will be released August 14, 2026 in trade paperback (394 pages, ISBN 978-1-998795-30-7, $27.99 CAD) and ebook (ISBN 978-1-998795-31-4, $7.99) formats.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

More information to come as it becomes available. Right now we’re looking to host the launch party at Little Ghosts, in Trinity Bellwoods, with likely an online version as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
