Forthcoming Anthology Goodness

Tim Lebbon — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:21:33 +0000

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?

PW likes Bar None … and new Hellboy interview

Tim Lebbon — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:02:26 +0000

Publishers Weekly gives a wonderful review for Bar None in this week’s issue – read it here (scroll down to the SF/Fantasy/Horror section). In part it says:

…a fun, engaging, exceptionally strange and refreshingly original tale for fans of postapocalyptic fiction.

Also, there’s a new interview with me about my Hellboy novel up now at Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review.

BAR NONE – review

Tim Lebbon — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:02:46 +0000

A nice review of BAR NONE here. Remember, if you like beer, and horror, and the apoalypse, you’ll love this book.

BAR NONE – new novel out now!

Tim Lebbon — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:07:05 +0000

My latest novel BAR NONE is available now! You can get it from Amazon, or direct from the publisher, or from your local bookshop (and if they don’t have it, please ask them to order a copy).

You can also download a flyer/poster direct from the publisher’s website, if you feel inclined to help promote this one.

‘A novel of chilling suspense, apocalyptic beauty, and fine ales’.

I mean, come on, what more could you possibly want? One of the best things I’ve written, and my first horror novel for a couple of years.

Spread the word. Buy the book. And please, please tell me what you think.

BAR NONE – the horror arrives soon

Tim Lebbon — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:00:24 +0000

In a couple of weeks my new novel BAR NONE will be released from Night Shade Books, my first horror novel in two years (other than 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, but that one wasn’t really my baby). It’s a novel of ‘chilling suspense, apocalyptic beauty, and fine ales’. I finished writing it just after my mother died, and so as well as the above, it’s also a book about memories and how important they can be. So it’s serious, and also a bit of a romp, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.

If anyone is interested in helping me promote this book you can download a beautifully designed poster (thanks to Deena Warner) from the Night Shade website, which you could print off and stick around your local bars, university campus, whatever.

Or, email me through the CONTACT page and I’ll forward it to you … along with my eternal gratitude.

I hope you enjoy BAR NONE when it hits the shelves … and please spread the word.

BAR NONE – exclusive extract

Tim Lebbon — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:35:23 +0000

My new novel BAR NONE is due to hit the shelves April 20th. It’s a novel of ‘chilling suspense, apocalyptic beauty, and fine ales’. So as a pre-weekend treat, the first ever extract is now available at Dread Central for your perusal and delectation. It reads with a soft fruity aromas, a smooth mouthfeel, and finishes with a dark and complex aftertaste.

I’d love to hear what you think – do tell. And you can of course pre-order the book from the usual outlets, as well as direct from the publisher.

“My friends are the best friends
Loyal, willing and able.
Now let’s get to drinking!
All glasses off the table!”

Book Updates

I thought I’d post an update on forthcoming book releases. Where these are available for pre-order, I’ve posted an Amazon link, but ordering from your local bookstore is always good.

So here we go:

Bar None - sometimes soon, from Night Shade Books - my first original horror novel in over 18 months

The Map of Moments – January 2009 – with Christopher Golden, the second Novel of the Hidden Cities, from Bantam Spectra

Hellboy: The Fire Wolves – Dark Horse April 2009 – my second Hellboy novel, this time for the excellent Dark Horse

The Island - April 2009 – fourth novel in the award-winning Noreela series, from Bantam Spectra

You’ll also see Mind the Gap and Fallen released in mass market paperback format early next year, both by Bantam Spectra.

And as well as this, a limited edition of Mind the Gap from Cemetery Dance, and another book from them at some point. And there are other projects I can’t announce just yet, and a couple of announcement that are pending.

I’m also working on a crime novel. Oh yes.

More exciting announcements soon!
