Here's the official description for *Perdido Street Station*:

In the sprawling, chaotic city of New Crobuzon, where magic and machinery intertwine, a dangerous experiment unleashes a nightmare that threatens to consume everything. Isaac, a rogue scientist, unwittingly sets a monstrous force loose and must rally an unlikely band of outcasts to confront it. As the city teeters on the brink of destruction, the battle delves into the darkest corners of human ambition and the eerie beauty of the bizarre. China Miéville’s PERDIDO STREET STATION is a spellbinding journey into a world teeming with grotesque wonders, savage horrors, and the relentless pulse of revolution.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Miéville stated, “Having encountered my first Folio Society edition as a child and been blown away by the beauty and mystery of the text, it has been a great honour to work with the Society on one of my own books. I’m still astonished that something I wrote will be part of this beautiful oeuvre, and grateful to everyone at the Society for making the whole process such a pleasure.”

This limited edition of *Perdido Street Station* is restricted to just 500 copies worldwide and will be available for purchase starting Tuesday, March 18, exclusively on The Folio Society's website.

In addition to this exciting release, The Folio Society has been exploring the realm of comic book reprints. Don't miss our exclusive previews of *DC: Batman* and *Marvel: Unforgettable Stories*.
