Daniel Polansky broke onto the fantasy scene in 2011 with Low Town, a gritty noir-fantasy hybrid that earned comparisons to Glen Cook and Joe Abercrombie. He followed that debut with two more Low Town novels and branched out into epic fantasy with The Empty Throne duology. His novella The Builders, about a gang of anthropomorphic animals on a revenge mission, was a Tor.com original that picked up strong reviews.
Beyond his series work, Polansky has written several well-received standalone novels. A City Dreaming brought his sharp prose to urban fantasy set in New York, while The Seventh Perfection packed a full story into novella length. His more recent novels, March’s End and Tomorrow’s Children, show he keeps pushing into new territory with each book.
