HarperCollins is to publish a title by Man Booker-winner Hilary Mantel exclusively as an e-book.
Editor Robin Harvie acquired Ink in the Blood as part of a new digital publishing programme for Fourth Estate.
The "incredible and haunting" hospital diary, written earlier this year and published in the London Review of Books, details the author's "loss of dignity, her determination, the concentration of the senses into an animalistic struggle to get through, and the attendant hallucinations she was plagued by".
Ink in the Blood will be published as a 99p e-book available from all digital retailers next month. The title is part of a new Fourth Estate initiative to make selected author backlists available as individual downloads.
