Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

There’s a great review of The Heretic Land here, by the very excellent writer Jesse Bullington.  Nice!

And I’ve been interviewed here about my short story collection Nothing as it seems.

Oh, and a big announcement about a new deal will be surfacing soon (the next day or two), so watch this space!

For all Spanish readers out there Berserk is available as an ebook and paperback in Spanish today.  Links are on the book page here.

PORQUE LA MUERTE NO ES EL FIN. A VECES ES SOLO EL PRINCIPIO…

Sinopsis: Los momentos más oscuros de la vida son el elemento principal de la obra de Tim Lebbon. Profeta del miedo y de la sangre, pocos escritores son capaces de sumergirse en sus profundidades con su sensibilidad y su inquebrantable franqueza. «Allí tenían monstruos.» Eso fue lo que Tom oyó sin querer en el bar esa noche. Y oyó más cosas que podrían llevarlo al fin a averiguar la verdad sobre la muerte de su hijo, diez años antes. «Un desgraciado accidente durante unas maniobras», le había comunicado el Ejército. Pero entonces ¿por qué habían sellado el ataúd en el que lo habían enviado a casa?Así que una noche oscura, en un campo desolado, Tom empieza a excavar la fosa común donde espera (y teme) encontrar los restos de su hijo. Lo que encuentra en su lugar es el horror: cadáveres encadenados, descompuestos, decapitados, mutilados. Y una niña podrida, aparentemente muerta, que sin embargo le promete a Tom ayudarlo a encontrar lo que está buscando si la libera…

Hi,

There is a new interview covering Coldbrook right just here.

And here’s the glorious cover for my upcoming STAR WARS novel DAWN OF THE JEDI: Into the Void.  What do you think?

This shows you which titles are available as ebooks and in which format, and the book title link will take you to the relevant library page.  These pages have now been updated with links to the various ebook stores.

Enjoy,

The nice folks over at Star Wars Books have released the synopsis for my forthcoming Star Wars novel (due out next May).  Here it is!

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force—and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.

Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key—risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je’daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved—and whose life she must now fear.

Happy New Year!

So, 2012.  It was an exciting year for me in many ways, with ups and a couple of downs.  I had several books published, parted ways with two publishers, and I’m about to sign an exciting deal with a new publisher.  I had books published to great reaction, but I also came to learn that publishers are becoming even more cautious.

We live in interesting time, and that’s what makes it so exciting.

2012 saw publication of my novelisation of The Cabin in the Woods, as well as my novels Coldbrook, The Heretic Land, and Toxic City Book One: London Eye.  My collection Nothing as it seems was also released from PS Publishing.  And The Secret Journeys of Jack London: The Sea Wolves (written with Christopher Golden) was published in the USA by HarperCollins.  I’m really proud of all of these books, and it was a thrill to see so many books hitting the shelves in one year.  Coldbrook seemed to make a bit of a splash.  And the Toxic City trilogy is even now in development at ABC Network as a TV series (and more on that soon).

All in all, a great year.  And though it also had its downs, 2012 ended with an exciting new deal being agreed for a novel I’m extremely excited about writing.  That novel is The Silence, and I’ll be able to tell you more about that very, very soon.

So what does 2013 have in store?  As well as The Silence, Toxic City Book Two: Reaper’s Legacy will be published.  And then there’s my very exciting Star Wars novel Into the Void: Dawn of the Jedi, due to be published in May.  Can’t wait for that!  And I’m also thrilled that I’ll be attending my first Star Wars convention at the National Space Centre.  I’ll be writing a novella for Spectral Publications (tentative title Still Life), as well as a long-awaited third novella in the Naming of Parts/Changing of Faces trilogy for PS Publishing.  And there are other exciting projects in the pipeline which I’ll talk about more here as and when I can.

Oh, and I’ll also be training for and racing the single most challenging one-day endurance event in the world … Ironman UK.  I talk about that and more on my website RunWalkCrawl.  Madness.  But in a good way.

A big thanks to all of you who continue to read and enjoy my work.  Without you I wouldn’t be doing this, and I’m grateful.  If you read my books and enjoy them, do drop me a line.  It’s always good to hear from you.

I’ll do my best to update this blog more frequently during 2013.  Meanwhile, I’d like to wish you all a happy, fruitful, and safe 2013.

Ten years ago I wrote a novella with Simon Clark called Exorcising Angels.  It was published by Earthling Publications, and went on to be nominated for a World Fantasy Award and appear in the Mammoth Book of Best New Horror.  It did well.  Then it went out of print.

Now, thanks to the folks at Necon Ebooks, it’s back!

Available from the Necon Ebooks website as well as all the usual places you buy your ebooks, Simon and I sincerely hope you’ll give this one a go.  We’re as proud of it now as we were ten years ago.
