Title of new JK Rowling book revealed : "Lairs of Lady Po"



A little over a month ago it was announced that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling would write an adult novel due out later this year.

And while we still don't have a concrete release date, we now have a title.

Lairs of Lady Po

The full image depicts the printed title of the book with the author's name on an old-fashioned type-writer and blood spattered in the upper-left hand corner of the page.

From the press release issued from Little, Brown & Company:

"It has become tradition for Ms. Rowling when announcing her projects to always have a bit of mystery at the onset.'Lairs of Lady Po' is no different. We look forward to seeing how her fans react to the image."

What do you think it all means? Given the blood, has Rowling penned her first horror/mystery novel? Let the speculation begin!

That's the first thing I thought when I read that title. That's a really terrible title.

yeah, the year they claimed WB's lawyers had shut their site and forums down for real was more believable.

Not falling for another joke this year.

I read that as Lairs of Lady poo by accident :S

But this looks exciting :D
genbu_no_miko24 1st-Apr-2012 03:43 pm (UTC)

Same here!

Ugh if it's a horror/mystery I probably won't read it. I usually read at night before bed and I don't wanna have nightmares :/
gatewaydrug 1st-Apr-2012 03:45 pm (UTC)
Oh wait. Fuck I forgot today was April fools. Might as well steer clear of the Internet today.

Har har, apparently this is an anagram for "April Fool's Day."
lo_anxiety 1st-Apr-2012 04:13 pm (UTC)
