Alan Moore has many, many stories still to tell.

The celebrated British author known for "V for Vendetta" and "Watchman" among other works has a deal with Bloomsbury for the story collection "Illuminations" and a five-volume fantasy series, "Long London." In a statement Monday, Moore said he was "bursting with fiction, bursting with prose" and thanked his publisher for its commitment to "expanding the empire of the word."

Moore's "Illuminations," scheduled for fall 2022, takes in everything from ghosts to the big bang theory. "Long London" follows a "sometimes-accessible shadow city that is beyond time," starting with London after World War II and "following the populations of writers, criminals, artists, and magicians through that familiar city and a version of London just beyond our knowledge," according to Bloomsbury.

The first volume of "Long London" comes out in 2024.

Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner is featured on Andrea Bocelli’s new single, “Dust and Glory” that was released Friday.

The song, which blends Italian and English, mixes Bocelli’s vocals with spoken verses from Sinner, The Associated Press reported.

It’s a tribute to the struggle and beauty of life’s journey, and “the fine line that turns dust into glory.”

There’s also an accompanying four-minute music video featuring private footage from the childhoods of both Italian stars, with current scenes filmed at Bocelli’s home in Tuscany.

“Talent doesn’t exist; it has to be earned,” Sinner says in the recording.

“Sharing this journey with Jannik was fascinating," Bocelli said. "We’re from different worlds but close in commitment and discipline in the constant search for authenticity and beauty. I have always been his fan, fascinated not only by his talent, but also by his humility and his inner strength.”

Sinner added: “I am very honored and happy to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag of our country in the world. I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs, all this is a strong emotion.”
