Bloomsbury, home to the Harry Potter novels, acquired what it described as two “major” projects from the 67-year-old. The second acquisition is a fantasy quintet titled Long London, which will launch in 2024. Bloomsbury said it “promises to be epic and unforgettable, a tour-de-force of magic and history”. “Alan Moore is simply a legend and it has been such a pleasure to listen to him talk about his ambitious Long London series as well as discovering the range of his shorter fiction,” said Bloomsbury editor-in-chief Paul Baggaley. In 2016, he published his first novel: the 1,000-plus page Jerusalem, about his home town of Northampton, with comics publisher Knockabout.
