From multi award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer Tim Lebbon comes this huge collection of the very best of his short fiction. His first short fiction collection As the Sun Goes Down (Night Shade Book), attracted rave reviews. Now, Last Exit for the Lost collects the best of Lebbon's output from 2000 to the present day. Weighing in at over 560 pages and containing 150,000 words of fiction, it also features two brand new, never-before-published stories: the novelette The Evolutionary, and the novella Nothing Heavenly. • In Kissing at Shadows, a man makes a yearly journey through an apocalyptic landscape to visit the memory of his wife... • In The Stuff of the Stars, Leaking, a dead sea creature washed up on a remote beach proves to be more mysterious than it first appears… • A man loses his son... and he will do anything to get him back In Perpetuity… • In The Horror of the Many Faces, Watson witnesses his friend Sherlock Holmes committing horrendous crimes that the great man himself would have trouble solving... • A boy meets a mysterious stranger who can heal dead animals in The Evolutionary… but is there some fearful design to their meeting…? • And captured by angels or demons, a prisoner can find Nothing Heavenly in either... Lebbon has been described as "…the most exciting voice in the horror genre since Poppy Z Brite and Bentley Little", "...the most exciting new name in horror for years", and "…one of the very few genuinely talented British writers of thought-provoking horror and dark fantasy". If you're brave enough to step through this Last Exit, you'll see why…
Author

I love writing, reading, triathlon, real ale, chocolate, good movies, occasional bad movies, and cake. I was born in London in 1969, lived in Devon until I was eight, and the next twenty years were spent in Newport. My wife Tracey and I then did a Good Thing and moved back to the country, and we now live in the little village of Goytre in Monmouthshire with our kids Ellie and Daniel. And our dog, Blu, who is the size of a donkey. I love the countryside ... I do a lot of running and cycling, and live in the best part of the world for that. I've had loads of books published in the UK, USA, and around the world, including novels, novellas, and collections. I write horror, fantasy, and now thrillers, and I've been writing as a living for over 8 years. I've won quite a few awards for my original fiction, and I've also written tie-in projects for Star Wars, Alien, Hellboy, The Cabin in the Woods, and 30 Days of Night. A movie's just been made of my short story Pay the Ghost, starring Nicolas Cage and Sarah Wayne Callies. There are other projects in development, too. I'd love to hear from you!
