Black Library
The Black Library is a division of Games Workshop (formerly a part of BL Publishing) which is devoted to publishing novels and audiobooks (and has previously produced art books, background books, and graphic novels) set in the ''Warhammer Fantasy Battle'' and ''Warhammer 40,000'' fictional universes. The publishing company took their name from the fictional Black Library in ''Warhammer 40,000'',〔(10th anniversary interview ), with Marc Gascoigne〕 where the Eldar race keep their stored knowledge of Chaos and the Necrons. Some of Black Library's best known titles include the Gaunt's Ghosts and Eisenhorn series of novels by Dan Abnett and the Gotrek and Felix series by William King and Nathan Long.
The authors of these novels, graphic novels, and comics created original storylines and characters that are based on playable armies in the main ''Warhammer 40,000'' game and its many spin-offs (such as ''Inquisitor'' or ''Epic'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Rulebook )〕 These works are then promoted with contributions of stories, plot synopses, and rules in the ''White Dwarf'' magazine and at the official Games Workshop website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Games Workshop )〕 The result is a fusion of tabletop gaming with science fiction and fantasy writing.
== History ==
The Black Library was founded in April 1997 to publish ''Inferno!'' magazine, a bi-monthly digest-sized anthology of short stories, comic strips and features from the Warhammer worlds. Black Library began as team at Games Workshop brought together to ''INFERNO!'' magazine.〔 ''Inferno!s success spawned ''Warhammer Monthly'' comic books, and then from September 1999 a lengthy series of fantasy and science fiction novels. Their first art book, ''Inquis Exterminatus'' was published in May, 1999. Black Library's catalogue now runs to well over two hundred titles, with a ''Warhammer'' and a ''Warhammer 40,000'' novel appearing every month.
In October 2003 BL Publishing started a sister imprint, Black Flame, which applied the same pulp styling to novels featuring New Line Cinema characters such as Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, and ''2000 AD'' comics' Judge Dredd and others. In 2006, Black Flame produced the novel for the New Line Cinema's feature film ''Snakes on a Plane''. In the summer of 2005 BL Publishing announced another fiction imprint, Solaris Books, that will publish original science fiction and fantasy. Solaris Books has subsequently been sold to Rebellion who also own Abaddon Books.
