It's been a long and difficult road for John Constantine - one that's left him with demo's blood in his veins and dead friends' voices in his head. This volume features some of Constantine's earliest adventures by writer Jamie Delano, including his first victory in the long war with the demon Nergal and an encounter with a strange woman who is the embodiment of the world's horrors, painted by V FOR VENDETTA co-creator David Lloyd. ![]()

With the kind of following Rothfuss has on social media, he said he consistently hears negative things, and it can add up quickly. For the most part, it sounds like a majority of Rothfuss' fans are okay waiting, but every so often, you get someone who's nasty because they expected this book to come out years ago.īeing part of that 99 has become somewhat of a mantra to Rothfuss' fans, and as he said in the stream, "It's a real sweet thing. In June 2022, he uploaded a video to YouTube where he spoke about the 99 phenomenon, which basically goes if you meet 99 nice people in a day and one mean person, you're only going to focus on the one mean person. However, some people can naturally be mean when it comes to the artists who create what they enjoy, and Rothfuss has stated how it can be difficult to ignore those voices. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Who was his father?

In it, Sanderson spent much more time developing the concrete politics and ethics of the world than the abstract worldbuilding. But his latest release, a young adult science fiction sequel called Starsight that debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller’s list, breaks his pattern. He often develops the abstract philosophical realms of his fantasies and space operas. On his Writing Excuses Podcast, he has described himself as a Mormon and a rationalist, and his philosophical themes have always enriched his storytelling in a complex way that secular authors rarely manage. Ever since finishing Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, he has grown more well-known and beloved. Brandon Sanderson’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. ![]() ![]() "The Vindictive Story of the Footsteps that Ran"Įarly in the story is the sentence, "It was a Sunday afternoon in that halcyon summer of 1921."

Stories in italics are novels, while those in "quotes" are short stories. (I've also been doing the same for Margery Allingham's Albert Campion series.) The goal of this chronology is to provide a guide for the order in which the stories should be read, and therefore I've avoided giving spoilers in this chronology. ![]() To my surprise, no one had assembled such a page on the Web.
