PW have released their Best Books of the Year list, and I’m delighted to see FALLEN on there, one of only 7 SF/Fantasy/Horror books chosen. Hoorah!
I was also thrilled to see that Bob Shearman won a World Fantasy Award for his collection Tiny Deaths, which I blogged about a couple of days ago. Really, you should all go and buy a copy.

After yesterday’s near bunny-murder, it was a great surprise this morning to receive the new issue of Black Static magazine, with an extensive review section, a quick interview and a ‘facts’ bit all about yours truly. The reviews cover The Reach of Children, and the UK releases of The Everlasting and Fallen, while the interview talks a little about all three.
Each review, I’m delighted to say, is very positive indeed.
Now then, if you don’t buy Black Static already, you really should. It publishes some of the best genre fiction around, has some fascinating columns from the likes of Christopher Fowler, Stephen Volk and Mike O’Driscoll, DVD reviews by Tony Lee, and Peter Tennant provides an always in-depth and perceptive reviews section. Definitely one of the best magazines out there, so pop along to the website and place your order. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. In fact, if you are disappointed, I vow to drink a pint of beer.
Go there. It’s a good place, and you will be welcomed.

Okay, loads of news to catch up on, so I’m going to do so in a few posts over the next few days. Fantasycon was last weekend – I’ll write a more in depth report on that over the weekend – and I had two book launches there, launching three books in total.
The first was on Friday night for my new novella THE REACH OF CHILDREN. It looks utterly fabulous, as you can see here, and there are a few reviews incoming over the next few weeks. Mike Marshall Smith, who wrote the wonderful introduction, says:
Lebbon has written one of the best and most emotionally convincing stories about death that I have ever read
.
This is one of the most personal stories I’ve ever written, and I’m actually quite nervous that it’s out there now … there’s so much about me here, and stuff I’ve gone through, that it feels as if I’ve offered something private up for view. But I’ve also found the writing of the novella very satisfying and rewarding, and I hope you enjoy it. If you’re interested, check out the details here.
Also launched at Fantasycon, my two books from Allison & Busby, FALLEN and THE EVERLASTING. FALLEN just had a great review in the latest issue of SFX magazine, giving it 4 out of 5 and saying:
If Lebbon continues writing the Noreela stories to this high standard, the series could be as exciting as George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels – definitely a series to watch.
Which is nice.
