They will not be doing a series on Dunk and Egg, a series of prequel novellas that begin 90 years prior to the events in the A Song of Ice and Fire books; nor will they reenact Robert's Rebellion and the events immediately leading up to the first season.

The most likely possibility for a prequel series is an adaptation of Martin's series of novellas following a hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his squire, Egg (who was later known as King Aegon V Targaryen, the younger brother of Game of Thrones' Maester Aemon Targaryen). Why?

Fantasy novels that imagine magic in a realistic setting are plentiful nowadays: there's Melissa F. Olson's Nightshades novellas with a modern twist on the vampire, Lev Grossman's hidden world of magic users in his meta Magicians trilogy, and Mishell Baker's fantastic Arcadia Project trilogy, which brings fairyland into the modern world.

And Gailey's worldbuilding clearly establishes a much larger world (something that they established themselves as particularly proficient at in their American Hippo novellas.)

Spun from the Letty Dobesh novellas by Blake Crouch, the show "can't seem to find the balance between suspense and incipient romance," but Ms. Dockery is "fun to watch when the show just lets her be a sexy, smart crook" — or when she's sniping with Mr. Botto, Mike Hale wrote in The New York Times.

Over the last few years, however, several publishing houses have begun to reissue Zweig's works — in slow bursts at first, and then in a fusillade, so that American audiences might delight in the short stories, novellas, biographies, essays and powerful novel, "Beware of Pity," that brought Zweig so much glamour and recognition between the first and second World Wars.

The two novellas follow Mokoya and Akeha, the twin children of Protector Sanao who are trying to find their place in a fantastic, steampunk-styled world known as Ea.

"Huck Out West," the latest novel to emerge from this wild genius's half-century outpouring of postmodernist books, stories, novellas and plays (he helped lead postmodernism's advance guard), establishes Huck in exactly the place Twain himself planned to take him, the Wild West during and after the Civil War: exactly the West as charted by Twain's dialect, sense of terrain and national scope.

His body of work — over a dozen novels and novellas, four volumes of short stories and two books of nonfiction, as well as 20 or so anthologies he co-edited (many assembled in collaboration with his wife, the influential sci-fi and fantasy editor Ann VanderMeer) — is best known for its dramatic departure both from mimetic realism as a literary technique (he might narrate from the perspective of a murderous bioengineered duck or a love-struck madman) and from more commonsensical, everyday reality.

Radicalized by Cory Doctorow Cory Doctorow is best known for novels, but his new book is a little different: it's made up of four novellas set in the near future — "Unauthorized Bread," about a woman who goes to great lengths to jailbreak the appliances in her subsidized housing; "Model Minority," in which a superhero tries to tackle police corruption; "Radicalized," about a man who sparks a violent uprising against his insurance company; and "Masque of the Red Death," which ties in with Doctorow's novel Walkaway.

" When Hulu announced last year that it was partnering with the author Stephen King, the producer J.J. Abrams and the TV writers Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason (those last two best-known for the excellent WGN drama "Manhattan"), King's fans were led to expect that "Castle Rock" would be a lot like the town Lacy describes: populated with characters and nightmares drawn directly from King novels like "Cujo" and "The Dead Zone" and from novellas like "The Body" and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.
