About the Author :
Josiah Bancroft started writing novels when he was twelve, and by the time he finished his first, he was an addict. Eventually, the writing of Senlin Ascends began, a fantasy adventure, not so unlike the stories that got him addicted to words in the first place. He wanted to do for others what his favorite writers had done for him: namely, to pick them up and to carry them to a wonderful and perilous world that is spinning very fast. If he's done that with this book, then he's happy. Josiah lives in Philadelphia with his wife, Sharon, and their two rabbits, Mabel and Chaplin. John Banks has worked in theater with companies including York Theater Royal, Cheltenham Everyman, Sheffield Crucible, Bristol Old Vic, Manchester Royal Exchange, and the National Theater in London. He has also worked on a number of radio drama and comedy productions with the BBC. He has recently begun voicing a wide variety of characters in numerous audio-drama series.

Review :
Brilliant debut fantasy . . . This novel goes off like a firework and suggests even greater things in the author's future.-- "Publishers Weekly, starred review on Senlin Ascends" Deeply compelling . . . A classic in the making.-- "B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog" It's rare to find a modern book that feels like a timeless classic. I'm wildly in love with this book.-- "Pierce Brown, author of Red Rising on Senlin Ascends" Josiah Bancroft is a magician. His books are that rare alchemy: gracefully written, deliriously imaginative, action-packed, warm, witty, and thought-provoking. I can't wait for more.-- "Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe" Senlin is a man worth rooting for, and his strengthening resolve and character is as marvelous and sprawling as the tower he climbs.-- "The Washington Post on Senlin Ascends" This is an exceedingly rich book. A depth of imagination married with a poetic turn of phrase and an engaging cast of characters conspire to deliver an epic story soaring high above the clouds.-- "Fantasy Faction on Senlin Ascends" This is fantasy storytelling of a high order.-- "The Toronto Star on Senlin Ascends" Ticks along with the tight precision and artistry of a well-wound watch.-- "Kirkus on Senlin Ascends" What is remarkable about this novel, quite apart from its rich, allusive prose, is Bancroft's portrayal of Senlin, a good man in a desperate situation, and the way he changes in response to his experiences in his ascent.-- "The Guardian on Senlin Ascends" With deceptive simplicity Bancroft brings this gothic place and its denizens to a colourful life...I loved it!-- "Adrian Selby, author of Snakewood on Senlin Ascends" Wonderfully unique and superbly well written. I loved every page.-- "Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld on Senlin Ascends" Senlin Ascends is a unique masterpiece. A brilliant debut. Highly recommended!-- "Michael R. Fletcher, author of Beyond Redemption on Senlin Ascends" Senlin Ascends is an adventure rife with character, voice and beauty - a well-polished knife drawn out slowly." --Sam Sykes on Senlin Ascends Senlin Ascends crosses the everyday strangeness and lyrical prose of Borges and Gogol with all the action and adventure of high fantasy. I loved it, and grabbed the next one as soon as I turned the last page.-- "Django Wexler, author of The Thousand Names on Senlin Ascends" Senlin Ascends is one of the best reads I've had in ages . . . I was dragged in and didn't escape until I'd finished two or three days later.-- "Mark Lawrence, author of Prince of Thorns on Senlin Ascends" The Hod King is a compelling and original novel; the "Books of Babel" are something you hope to see perhaps once a decade - future classics, which may be remembered long after the series concludes.-- "Los Angeles Times" Like a blend of Kafka's The Castle and Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast, Josiah Bancroft's ambitious first chapter in his The Books of Babel series is an impressive display of imagination and humor.-- "SciFiNow on Senlin Ascends"
