As the Sun Goes Down

This landmark volume marked the first U.S. publication of British horror phenomenon, Tim Lebbon. As the Sun Goes Down collects 90,000 words of his best work, including several original pieces, like “The Unfortunate”, which went on to win a Bram Stoker award, and was included in several “Year’s Best” anthologies. As the Sun Goes Down also features an introduction by Ramsey Campbell. This collection presents a tableau of stories each very distinct in content and form, yet inextricably linked in disturbing the reader and challenging their accepted values. Not one tale is wasted in Lebbon’s determination to subvert our perceptions of love, life, nature, beauty and the innocence of childhood. His use of language and narrative form is unrelenting, each vying to create images from words that incessantly chip away at our confidence in the so-called ‘truths’ of existence.

Tim Lebbon's first two books, Mesmer and Faith in the Flesh were both shortlisted for British Fantasy Awards, while White was nominated for an International Horror Guild Award, and won the British Fantasy Award. He has had over seventy short stories published in magazines and anthologies since 1995, with many more due soon in the likes of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Outside the Cage, Best New Horror, Cemetery Dance, Last Days, Judas Street, Beneath the Ground and Darker Side of Eternity. Tim Lebbon was born in London in 1969. Currently he lives in South Wales with his wife and daughter
