Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

Here’s a nice review of The Thief of Broken Toys from UK writer Wayne Simmons.

And a scorcher for The Chamber of Ten.

Taking a ten day break from posting here now (What, you say, not as if you do it regularly anyway!) As a man once said, I’ll be back.

Hitting the shelves today, THE CHAMBER OF TEN is the third Hidden Cities novel written by me & Christopher Golden.  And you will love it.  Here’s the blurb:

From two masters of dark fantasy comes a chilling tale of magic and possession, set in—and beneath—fabulous Venice, a city slowly being swallowed by the very waters that have made it one of the wonders of the world.

Geena Hodge is an American archaeologist working to salvage Venice’s past from the encroaching Adriatic Sea. When she and her lover, Nico, discover the lost library of Petrarch under the Piazza San Marco, they rejoice not only at the historical significance of the find but at the opportunity to bring worldwide attention—and much-needed funding—to their endeavors.

But that find soon leads to another, a room buried more deeply still: the fabled Chamber of Ten, where centuries ago the secret rulers of Venice, in their quest for absolute power, met to plot betrayals and murders. After entering the Chamber, Geena and Nico are thrust into the midst of an ancient feud, a deadly battle of wills and black magic that threatens to poison the city’s future with the evils of its past.

Chris and I are delighted with this book, and hope you enjoy it.  Please let us know what you think of it … we love feedback.

Check out this wonderful cover for the forthcoming third novel in the Hidden Cities series, written with my excellent collaborator Christopher Golden.  What a scorcher, eh?

So what do you think?  Would love to hear.
