Gnomes of Lychford by Paul Cornell

Paperback – Tor – September 2025 – 152 pages

An unlikely group of supernatural creatures terrorizes the sleepy village of Lychford.

Ok, they’re gnomes. That’s not a spoiler: you worked it out from the title.

When an ancient prophecy clashes with an unfortunate modern design aesthetic, the people of Lychford must band together to put out fires (both literal and metaphorical) to save their town before the king of the Gnomes (King Greg, and it’s dangerous to laugh at a gnome) calls in the terms of an old promise.

Trouble is: no one knows what the promise is, nor how to fulfil it.

It’s going to be a long night.
