When we lost PD James back in 2014, a world of crime lovers mourned, the author was the Queen of Crime, without a doubt and those who loved her will be thrilled to hear there are new stories coming this October.
Sleep No More is a new collection of short stories from the late author to be released just in time for the Christmas market. The six short stories all have a motive of revenge and vengence and will be published by Faber later this year. From unhappy marriages to bullying schoolmasters, this collection will have it all.
Sleep No More: Six Murderous tales will be a companion to The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories, first published last year. That will be out in paperback this October along with the new tales.
The release date is 5th October and on the same day an unabridged audiobook read by Daniel Weyman will also be released. In time for this grand event, Faber is also reissuing Devices and Desires, one of James’ best loved Adam Dalgliesh mysteries and that will be out this September.
PD James had a long career writing crime fiction. Her debut novel Cover Her Face was published in 1962 and featured criminal investigator Adam Dalgliesh. James went on to write fourteen novels featuring the detective as well as several other fiction and nonfiction books. James was made a life peer in 1991 and was president of the Society of Authors from 1997 until 2013, just before her death in 2014 at her Oxford home.
