The Author
"Newton combines strange and vivid creations with very real and pressing concerns with estimable commitment and passion."— China Miéville on City of Ruin
I write about strange things, and they're published by Pan Macmillan (Tor UK), and Random House (Spectra). The links above should guide you to more information, including how to contact me.Nights of Villjamur
“With Nights of Villjamur Mark has managed to incorporate so many wonderfully varied ideas and themes into a decent blend of excitement and interest that the marketing department is going to have to invent a whole new section just for him.”
— Peter F. Hamilton
“Newton handles his multilayered world and diverse cast of characters with the assurance of an experienced author and balances his fantasy tropes with elements of horror and political commentary in vividly descriptive, compelling prose.”
— Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"This is fantasy with vast scope and ambition... a complex, eldritch vision."— The Guardian
City of Ruin
"A deft melding of murder mystery, gang warfare, corrupt politics and full-blown war... a rewarding experience."
— SFX Magazine

I was at a state fair this weekend and saw the extra apostrophe all over the place.

Hey, Jeff – I wonder if there’s some worldwide punctuation cult at work here.
