Preaching to the Choir: Terrible Worlds: Transformations
Autor Adrian Tchaikovskyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 aug 2026
She knew her boyfriend Ross Enderbough was rich. Like, “old money” rich. She knew he was the scion of some eccentric British line that predates the whole United States. She knew he didn’t really get on with his family, and that he fled to America to study free of their influence.
Ross has been summoned to Enderby, the family mansion built as a monastery centuries ago, for an exclusive, mysterious family gathering that happens only once a generation. Spouses and partners aren’t invited, but Ross has asked Elena to come anyway for moral support.
But there are secrets in the mouldering old pile, and terrors in the unkempt woods on the estate. And Elena slowly comes to realise that “old money” means so much more than she’d ever imagined…

Recenzii
“Readers with a bent for social commentary and solving puzzles will be doubly pleased.” -- Publishers Weekly on Ogres
“An absurdly funny, sharply written novella... a must-read for genre newbies and sci-fi fans alike.” -- Starburst Magazine on One Day All This Will be Yours
“A masterclass in concise storytelling... The book whips along at a rapid pace and characters are cleverly rendered. A fantastically easy read.” -- SciFiNow on Firewalkers
“Tchaikovsky knocks it out the park… A cunning take on both fantasy tropes and heroes’ journeys. He sticks the landing, too, with a last paragraph that perfectly pays off what came before it.” -- Locus Magazine on Ogres
“Tchaikovsky focuses the taut story in such a way that every detail is relevant, building towards a climax that feels like a perfect pay-off.” -- SFX Magazine on Firewalkers
