Locus Online
 


Every three months Locus Magazine publishes comprehensive lists of forthcoming books in the US and UK. The June 1998 issue lists nearly 2000 titles tentatively scheduled through March 1999, arranged by publisher and then by month. The magazine also lists about 300 'selected books' out of that 2000, listed by author. This page further selects about half of that 300, listed below by month, then by author. For the complete lists you'll have to order the issue.

Editions are indicated by colors:

  • 1st editions published in the US.
  • 1st editions published in the UK.
  • 1st US editions of books previously published in the UK (or elsewhere).

    Abbreviations following the publisher name are hc=hardcover, tp=trade paperback; c=collection, a=associational [non-genre], h=horror, nf=nonfiction. If not indicated hc or tp, the book is mass-market paperback or we're not sure. Schedules are tentative and subject to change, particularly in later months.
