Anticipated 2026 Speculative Fiction Releases, Part 2, featuring AN EMPIRE IN THE CLOUDS, THE GATES OF MIDNIGHT, A SCHOLAR'S GUIDE TO DEMONOLOGY & OTHER DARK ARTS, AN AUCTION OF SOULS, and more. www.fantasybookcafe.com/2026/09/anti... #Books #BookSky 📚💙 #Fantasy #SciFi #SpecFic 📚🪐

Cover of AN EMPIRE IN THE CLOUDS by Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker, Ignyte, and Nebula Award–Winning Author. It is stylistic and beautiful, but I don't really know how to adequately describe its pictures of water, buildings, and people in a short summary. The background is white with light gray swirls and the images are in blues, greens, oranges, coral, and black.

Text on the cover: "A sumptuous, dazzlingly inventive, genre-blending tale." - Fonda Lee

Cover of THE GATES OF MIDNIGHT: A NOVEL OF THE GOLEM AND THE JINNI by Helene Wecker, New York Times Bestselling Author. It's blue and gray with (presumably) an image of New York City showing a prominent skyscraper in the center. The title and border are in gold.

Cover of A SCHOLAR'S GUIDE TO DEMONOLOGY & OTHER DARK ARTS by Genevieve Cogman, showing the title on a banner curving from the top to near the bottom. The banner has a small brown and white dog toward the upper left and a black and white cat in the lower right, and it is surrounded by a variety of winged animals and objects including a bat, a moth, books, leaves, potions, and a knife.

Cover of AN AUCTION OF SOULS by Amber Chen, author of OF JADE AND DRAGONS. It shows a figure wearing reds and violets standing atop a golden hill with swirling yellow, fiery looking stalks with leaf-shaped blue and gold shapes at the end in the sky. The one at the top is styled to look like an eye.
