Among the Living

Praise

Praise for Among the Living:


“At once a thrilling novel and a call to action against climate change…This novel is wildly entertaining…The tension and violence are as aggressive as a revving engine here, but Lebbon’s timely message — that hurting our planet is hurting ourselves — is just as loud.” 
New York Times


“[I]f you’re after a tight, exciting thriller with ecological themes and a dash of early episodes of X-Files, it’s appropriately chilly for the winter.” 
SFX


“A nail-biting scientific thriller worthy of Michael Crichton. Readers will be wowed.”
Publishers Weekly


“[Tim’s] mastery of descriptive narrative and character crafting left me marinating in every single word of this masterful and gripping story… Among The Living is a film begging to be made; a desperate warning to humanity, pleading to be heard… Tim Lebbon is a master storyteller at his mesmerising best, and Among The Living is worthy of awards and accolades”
Nuzo Onoh, author of Where the Dead Brides Gather




“A chilling, white-knuckled thriller of a novel, Among the Living gives us a peek into the not-too-distant future, and Lebbon scares us to the ice-cold core of our souls with his dark, dire, and delightful prose. This one kept me up at night.”
Ronald Malfi, author of Come With Me


“Let me tell you, if the words ‘intelligent disease’ don’t send a chill up your spine, well then Tim Lebbon’s got about eighty thousand more words where that came from and they will absolutely pulverize every last vertebra you’ve got.”
Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters and What Kind of Mother 


“Tim Lebbon is the absolute king of modern climate-change eco-horror. Fans of EDEN will adore this one, set on an island in the Arctic Circle, where something lurks in caves underneath the permafrost. Explosions! Body horror! A doomed ship! MONSTERS”
Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces


“The closest thing to an actual nightmare I’ve encountered on the page in a very long time. Among the Living is doom-laden, frantic, desperation horror of the highest order, filled with the most what-the-f**k twists you’ll read all year. Lebbon is a master.”
Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and All Hallows


“Among The Living may be Tim Lebbon’s best work yet. Riveting, immersive and timely, it pits flawed, damaged people in an unequal and desperate struggle to prevent a catastrophe that may be just around the corner for us all. Read it now.” 
Daniel Church, author of The Hollows


“Tim Lebbon is a master of weird fiction! Among the Living is a riot of body horror, desperation, wild action, and totally relatable characters. Bloody brilliant!” 
Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Cave 13 and Empty Graves

Rio Youers, author of Lola on Fire and No Second Chances


“Among the Living is expertly tense, showcasing not only the dread of human distrust, but the destructive possibilities that rest beneath the surface. Tim Lebbon is a master of eco horror.”
