We are delighted to have a handful of copies available of Fablelistik's brand new Collector's Edition of The Devils! Since our very own Joel Daniel Phillips created most of the art, we figured we should have some to offer ourselves.
Please note: this is a Pre-Order, and your book will ship to you directly from the fine folks at Fablelistik in Late 2026 / Early 2027. We are only able to sell to domestic customers for this item, so please visit Fableistik's website if you live outside of the US.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Meticulously designed to immerse you in its unholy world, The Devils Collector’s Edition by Fableistik is bound in black leather with gold foil stamping, embossed skull motifs, and a metal pentagram onlaid within a circle of exclusively designed runes worthy of the second, (or possibly third) best necromancer in Europe.
This letterpress-printed release features 76 line art illustrations by Alexis Lampley, alongside 12 full-color portraits and a newly colorized map by Joel Daniel Phillips. The Collector’s Edition is signed by Joe Abercrombie, presumably in ink… although we cannot guarantee a small amount of blood was not involved.
Every book includes a full set of 8 mini art prints of The Devils portraits by Joel Daniel Phillips. The Print Set will ship with the book.

The Devils Book Summary:
Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds.
Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Holy City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him. But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters. The mission he is tasked with will require bloody measures from them all in order to achieve its righteous ends.
Elves lurk at our borders and hunger for our flesh, while greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions and comfort. With a hellish journey before him, it’s a good thing Brother Diaz has the devils on his side.
