From an authorised sequel to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four to a collection of newly discovered short stories from the late Terry Pratchett, there is a mountain of brilliant science fiction to get through this month

Newly discovered short stories of the author that had to physically destroy his latest work because he didn’t want those published due to his condition? I hope these aren’t part of the material he wanted to see irremediably destroyed. Not that I wouldn’t LOVE some more discworld stories but I respect his decision. GNU Terry Pratchett.

I believe that they were stories written for some newspaper/magazine at some point. They were 'lost' because they were never officially collated into a book.

Haaaa those would make sense. At least it’s a last legit entry for my shelf :)

Yeah, they were published in like a magazine, but under a pseudonym, so they've recently been collected, identified, and are going to be republished in a book
