PW likes Bar None … and new Hellboy interview

July 27th, 2009 • Posted in Reviews & Interviews |

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.

FALLEN – out now as a UK paperback

April 6th, 2009 • Posted in Book News |

FALLEN hits the shelves today in the UK as a mass market paperback.  You can buy from your local bookshop, online from Amazon, or direct from the publisher.

FALLEN was chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the top four fantasy, science fiction & horror novels published last year in the USA.  It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and SFX Magazine said:

‘If Lebbon continues writing Noreela stories to this high standard, the series could be as exciting as George RR Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels – definitely a series to watch – 4 stars’

If you need any more reason to buy it … how about my eternal gratitude and love?

It’s a really important book for me, and I’m keen to see it do well.  So spread the word.  If you’ve read it, please review it – or just mention it – on your blog, or Amazon, or message boards.  And if you know anyone you think might like it, please mention it to them.

Mucho thanks.

The Map of Moments – another great review

January 5th, 2009 • Posted in Reviews & Interviews |

Following on from the Publishers Weekly starred review of the forthcoming dark fantasy novel with the exceedingly excellent Christopher Golden, The Map of Moments, here’s another great review from SFRevu.  A nice way to start the new year.

And talking of starting something, I began my brand new dark fantasy novel ECHO CITY FALLS today! I fell into the swing of things pretty quickly, and I’m really pleased with the prologue I wrote. This really is dark fantasy ….

Publishers Weekly Starred Review – The Map of Moments

December 8th, 2008 • Posted in Reviews & Interviews |

My forthcoming novel with Christopher Golden, The Map of Moments, has just had a Starred Review in Publishers Weekly!  That’s a fine way to start the week, I can tell you.  This is the second Novel of the Hidden Cities, and Chris and I are pleased that this review agrees with our own opinion – that it’s even better than the first.

In part, the review says:

Urban realism meets dark fantasy in this spine-tingling second collaboration between authors Golden and Lebbon (after 2008’s Mind the Gap) as they merge the repercussions of Hurricane Katrina with New Orleans’ terrifying ghostly past.
