Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

Been working hard here on COLDBROOK and other exciting stuff, so I haven’t been updating as often as I’d like.  Here’s a couple of items I should have posted earlier:

CZP Publications books are now available on Kindle! This doesn’t yet include my own The Thief of Broken Toys.

I’ll be killing Scott Blanks in COLDBROOK.  Horribly.  And there’ll be another COLDBROOK related competition announced quite soon.

The paperback of my novel THE ISLAND is out in the UK on 6th May.

And I just found this on Amazon, so I guess I can share:

Check this out … my mate Stephen Susco co-wrote, and if you look closely you might just see him.  A great teaser trailer, can’t wait to see the movie.

“HIGH school” – 4/20 TEASER from “HIGH school” on Vimeo.

Great cast, and this looks lots of fun.

Would you like to be horribly killed in my new novel COLDBROOK?  It’ll be easy.  Just visit the COLDBROOK website, sign up, LEAVE A COMMENT HERE TO LET ME KNOW YOU’VE DONE IT, and on Saturday 17th I’ll draw the winner, who will appear as a minor character and meet a gruesome end.

I already know who you will be …

…has arrived.  I’ll be posting again soon with a full report from the weekend, so please be good while I’m gone.

…has a 50% sale on now!  Go there and buy loads of great books …. or if not, you can also buy my own BAR NONE, AS THE SUN GOES DOWN and FACE.

The World Horror Convention in Brighton is a week away.  In fact as I type this, exactly a week from now I will be launching my new novella The Thief of Broken Toys from CZP Publications, along with other books from that fantastic publisher.

I haven’t been to a World Horror since Toronto three years ago, so I’m thoroughly looking forward to catching up with lots of friends, and making some new ones.  I’m hoping that the hotel serves some decent beer, not the usual Worthington Creamflow crap, but I’m reliably informed that there are some quality pubs nearby just in case.  I’m driving to Brighton on the Thursday, then leaving early on Sunday to drive straight to North Wales for a week away with my family here.  Really excited about all this fun in such a short time …

I’m also thrilled that there’ll be a COLDBROOK-themed goody in the goody bag, so keep your eyes peeled for that, and please corner me to sign it.

Here’s my World Horror schedule:

Thursday

8-10pm – CZP Publications Book Launch

10pm onwards – PARTY PARTY PARTY

Friday

10-11am – Work for hire panel

noon-1pm – Mammoth Book of the Best of Best New Horror launch (containing my novella White)

If you’re there, please say Hi, and mine’s a pint of something real and aleish.

Firstly, if you’re not a member, why not?

Secondly … go here to check out a huge number of writers now taking part in the new message board.  Lots of great writers and great friends on there, and you’ll spend hours looking around and leaving messages.

I’m about halfway through COLDBROOK, and as usual, I’m having a great time destroying the world.  I don’t want to give any spoliers, but this will be the longest, most complex novel I’ve written to date … and it has zombies.

There’ll be a nice COLDBROOK-related surprise for World Horror attendees, more of that soon.

And as for the Variety-related surprise I mentioned a week or two ago … it’s coming.

Swearing – it’s not big, but it is clever.  This film looks wonderful.  And when you’ve watched this, check out the other clips & trailers online.
