Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

Check out this great review for THE NEW DEAD, forthcoming very soon.

The Thief of Broken Toys went to the printer today!  It’s selling well over at HorrorMall, so if you want to pre-order a hardback go here and check it out.

British Invasion, the anthology I edited with James Moore and Christopher Golden, has made it to the Stoker longlist.  Yay!

This Saturday, I’m catching up with 6 friends from my college days.  I attended college on day-release from my old day job (which I can’t tell you about, otherwise I’d have to kill you), and it’s almost 16 years since we’ve all been together as a gang.  So me, Guto, Paul, Nick, Ben, Simon, and John are meeting up for a day out in Bristol – there will be beer, curry, and lots of catching up.  It will be momentous.

Here’s a lovely review of my story in The New Dead.

Creeping Hemlock Press have lowered the price of this limited edition novella I wrote with Lindy Moore (pseudonym of a well-known children’s writer).

This is a beautiful, leather-bound book, signed and limited to 450 copies.  It’s wonderfully designed and illustrated, and it’s now a steal at $19.50.  Get some.

“[Children of the New Disorder] is a tight, quick read, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in substance. With just a few broad strokes, Lebbon and Moore do an amazing job of creating a fully formed picture of a society collapsing in on itself… A winner.”

My forthcoming novel from Bantam in the USA (October ‘10) and Orbit UK (June ‘11) is now called ECHO CITY.  I’m currently working on revisions, and have just spent a very productive couple of hours in Coffee #1 in Abergavenny brainstorming a couple of issues.  A mocha and a coconut flapjack helped, oh yes.

You can now read my story ‘In The Dust’, from THE NEW DEAD, which is posted on the St Martin’s website.  Go check it out, then come back and let me know what you think.

They’re almost here … those zombie crowds, ready to eat off your face and shamble (or run, if you’re a modern zombiephile) after you.

My good friend Christopher Golden has edited a splendid anthology of all-new zombie stories (including my novelette In The Dust), and you really, really need to get this.   Here are the relevant links:

USA: St Martin’s Griffin

UK: Piatkus

I’ve updated a few things on the website today, please check here:

Check out this wonderful cover for the forthcoming third novel in the Hidden Cities series, written with my excellent collaborator Christopher Golden.  What a scorcher, eh?

So what do you think?  Would love to hear.
