Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

Couple of nice anthologies I’m involved in have been announced …

First there’s The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, a reprint anthology edited by John Joseph Adams.  Published by the very excellent Night Shade Books , it features my story The Horror of the Many Faces.  There’s a dedicated website (where you can read author interviews, tables of contents, and where my story  is available to read, along with several others)  – go here to check it out.

Next up is Hellbound Hearts, a new anthology of Hellraiser-inspired stories from Pocket Books. Edited by Paul Kane and Marie O’Regan, this is going to be a scorching anthology, and it features my tale Every Wrong Turn … which introduces a brand new Cenobite. Oh yes.  You want this, don’t you?

I’m delighted to announce that Midnight Kitchen Productions have optioned my short story Pay The Ghost, originally published in the Cemetery Dance anthology October Dreams.

Midnight Kitchen Productions focuses on adapting genre source material for film.  They currently have an adaptation of China Mieville’s Details set up at Paramount Pictures, with Pascal Laugier (Martyrs, Hellraiser) attached to direct.

Screenwriter Dan Kay (Timber Falls) is adapting Pay The Ghost, and from the discussions I’ve had with Midnight Kitchen, I’m thrilled at their vision for the movie.

More news here as this develops, but suffice to say … I’m very excited.
