Press Release for The Hyena by David Quantick

Publishers Jendia Gammon and Gareth L. Powell of Stars and Sabers Publishing acquired world English rights for The Hyena, a surreal, alternate history novel from author David Quantick (VEEP; The Thick of It). The publication is slated for November 2026.

We are delighted to work again with Emmy Award-winning British author David Quantick. We are also publishing his novella, Imagine a Friend, in March 2026.

From the Author:

“The Hyena is my attempt to write a fictional autobiography of someone you’ve never heard of – a surrealist painter called Deborah Parkinson, who lived through the twentieth century, knew everyone from Salvador Dali to Leon Trotsky, and overcame enormous odds in her own way.” – David Quantick, Emmy Award winning writer of VEEP and In the Thick of It

We are honored to publish this transporting novel by David Quantick as we expand our single-author acquisitions at Stars and Sabers Publishing.
