Lebbon is quite simply the most exciting new name in horror for years. ("SFX Magazine"). The world as we know it has changed forever. The reason is Coldbrook. The facility lay deep in Appalachian Mountains a secret laboratory called Coldbrook. Its scientists had achieved the impossible: a gateway to a new world. Theirs was to be the greatest discovery in the history of mankind but they had no idea what they were unleashing. With their breakthrough comes disease and now it is out and ravaging the human population. The only hope is a cure and the only cure and the only cure is genetic resistance: an uninfected person amongst the billions dead. In the chaos of destruction there is only one person that can save the human race. But will they find her in time? "Lebbon fuses high fantasy with his trademark gut-churning horror ...fascinating". ("Guardian"). "Tim Lebbon is one of the few fantasy authors whose new works I eagerly anticipate". (Steven Erikson). "Lebbon is the real thing. He's going to be major". (Steve Rasnic Tem). "Lebbon's prose is a pleasure and so too his seamless hybridisation of horror and dark fantasy..." ("The Speculative Scotsman")."Lebbon has both the talent and audacity to pull off some startling feats of literary world building". ("Shivers Magazine"). "Unsettling. will reward the reader with insights as well as gooseflesh". ("Publisher's Weekly"). "Tim Lebbon is one of the most exciting and original talents on the horror scene". (Graham Joyce author of "The Silent Land"). "Haunting atmospheric and lyrically melancholic this dark little gem is simply put unforgettable". (Unabashedly Bookish: the B&N Blog). "Lebbon is one of the very few genuinely talented British writers of thought-provoking horror and dark fantasy tinged with SF". ("Shivers Magazine"). "Remember the energy and poetry of the tree-top battle in "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?" Tim Lebbon goes out on a limb - and then springs up into the clouds. That's how his fiction plays". (Ed Bryant "Locus"). "A substantial new talent just may have taken up residence in the horror genre". (The Third Alternative). "Lebbon is an apocalyptic visionary - a prophet of blood and fear. His stories map out a world you better pray never exists". (Mark Chadbourn). "...a novel that at its best suggests a merger of Dan Simmons' "Summer of Night" and Ramsey Campbell's haunting novel of dreams made flesh Incarnate".("Locus" (review of "Until She Sleeps")). "The most exciting voice in the horror genre since Poppy Z Brite and Bentley Little". ("Curl Up With a Good Book"). "Hews to the literary recipe favoured by such masters as Ian McEwan Robert Aickman and Patrick McGrath: a splash of grue in a subtle sauce with surreal meat". (Asimov's). "A promising talent. Lebbon will likely demand attention for years to come". ("Locus Online"). "Lebbon's writing is profoundly moral which is the hallmark of a serious writer not merely a writer who takes his writing seriously". (All Hallows).
