“Tim Lebbon takes the British dystopian horror novel and creates a modern classic set in a terrifying near future, where the only thing that stands between humankind and a savage prehistoric predator is the ability to stay silent.”
—Stephen Jones, Horror Writers Association Life Achievement Award, International Horror Guild, Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Award winner
“A book that I want to make a lot of noise about… in the best way possible.”
—Pat Cadigan, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Synners and Fools
“What I’ve always admired about Tim Lebbon’s fiction is the delicate characterisation he creates amidst such monstrosities; the cinematic apocalypse of The Silence is no exception.”
—Adam Nevill, British Fantasy Award-winning author of The Ritual and Last Days
“Absolutely riveting. The end of the world has never been more terrifying… One of Tim Lebbon’s best.”
—Brian Keene, Grand Master Award-winning author of The Rising and Ghoul
“Nobody ends the world quite like Tim Lebbon. He’s the grand master of destruction, the lord of the literary apocalypse. The Silence might just be his best novel to date: an ingenious mix of intimate character study and epic monster mash, a story that is clever and thoughtful in terms of themes and ideas but utterly relentless in its execution. Just don’t read it out loud, or the monsters will get you.”
—Gary McMahon, multiple British Fantasy Award nominee and author of Rain Dogs and Hungry Hearts
“Somehow both epic and intimate, Tim Lebbon’s The Silence is a masterful symphony of horrors that deserves a spot on your shelf of favorites. The Silence reads like a blend of John Wyndham and Stephen King, and reminds me why I fell in love with horror in the first place. It’s a must-read.”
—Christopher Golden, Bram Stoker Award winner and New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind
“Nobody ends the world as unflinchingly and heart-wrenchingly as Tim Lebbon. Make no mistake – The Silence will put you through the wringer. It will make you sob, and cheer. It’s as gripping and jaw-dropping as many a horror film – and I mean that as high praise. Stephen King would be proud. So, actually, would John Wyndham.”
—Stephen Volk, BAFTA and British Fantasy Award-winning writer of Ghostwatch and Afterlife
“Utterly compelling; grim, grisly and all too real. Tim Lebbon leads you on an extraordinary journey from order to chaos at a terrifying pace and it’s a stark warning to us all never to become too cosy or complacent… This is a novel that unlocks what a cataclysm would look like it if were to befall us, and where the moment you think things can’t get any worse, they do. I loved this book and I have to know what happens next…”
—James Barclay, David Gemmell Legend Award nominee for Ravensoul
“The Silence is Hitchcock’s Birds 2016: the enemy isn’t just the monsters, but modernity. It’s a clever, fast-paced thriller with vivid, memorable characters. You won’t put it down until it’s done.”
—Sarah Langan, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Missing and Audrey’s Door
“The Silence is very nearly a perfect book. From the opening page to the final sentence the prose is tight and driven as it chronicles one family’s struggles with the end of the world we have all known… Lebbon displays his literary merits here, showing an intimate, and often inspiring glimpse of the apocalypse. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The Silence is golden, indeed.”
—James A. Moore, Bram Stoker Award nominee and author of Seven Forges and The Blasted Lands
