Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon In-Conversation

We will be hosting an In-Conversation event at the FP Bristol Store with Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon - moderated by Gemma Amor!

Christopher Golden

Christopher Golden is the New York Times bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of such novels as Road of Bones, Ararat, Snowblind, and Red Hands. With Mike Mignola, he is the co-creator of the Outerverse comic book universe, including such series as Baltimore, Joe Golem: Occult Detective, and Lady Baltimore. As an editor, he has worked on the short story anthologies Seize the Night, Dark Cities, and The New Dead, among others, and he has also written and co-written comic books, video games, screenplays, and a network television pilot.

In 2015 he founded the popular Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival. He was born and raised in Massachusetts, where he still lives with his family. His work has been nominated for the British Fantasy Award, the Eisner Award, and multiple Shirley Jackson Awards. For the Bram Stoker Awards, Golden has been nominated ten times in eight different categories, and won twice. His original novels have been published in more than fifteen languages in countries around the world.

Tim Lebbon

Tim Lebbon's first published story was in the UK indie magazine Psychotrope in 1994, and in 1997 Tanjen published his first novel Mesmer. Since then Tim has had over forty novels published in the UK, USA, and translated around the world, by such publishers as HarperCollins, Bantam Spectra, Titan, Century, Hammer/Arrow Books, Allison & Busby, Night Shade Books, Simon & Schuster, Leisure Books, PS Publishing, Necessary Evil Press, Cemetery Dance and many others, with more books due soon.

The Silence is a Netflix Movie starring Stanley Tucci and Kiernan Shipka (and also Tim, as a bloodied corpse … you’ve got to be quick on the pause button to spot).

As well as writing, Tim loves triathlon, and can always be found swimming, biking and running around the Monmouthshire countryside. This love of endurance sport has found its way into his writing in such novels as The Hunt and Eden and non-fiction book about his fitness journey called Run Walk Crawl: Getting Fit In My Forties.

Gemma Amor

Gemma Amor is a Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award Nominated horror author, illustrator, voice actor and podcaster, based in Bristol, in the UK. She was named one of the ‘Writers Shaping Horror’s Next Golden Age‘ by Esquire Magazine, and recently featured in Ellen Datlow’s prestigious ‘Best Horror of the Year’ anthology, Vol. 15.

She is published independently, on Amazon and via traditional means (she considers herself a hybrid author for those reasons). She writes genre-fluid, emotional and character-driven horror and speculative fiction.

Gemma self-published her debut short story collection CRUEL WORKS OF NATURE in 2018, and went on to release DEAR LAURA, GRIEF IS A FALSE GOD, WHITE PINES, GIRL ON FIRE, THESE WOUNDS WE MAKE, WE ARE WOLVES and SIX ROOMS before signing her first traditional publishing deal for her novel FULL IMMERSION, published by Angry Robot books in 2022. This was followed by THE ONCE YELLOW HOUSE, CHRISTMAS AT WHEELDALE INN and THE FOLLY in 2023 (originally Polis books, shortly to be re-released by Datura). ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST is her twelfth published book, and her fifth for Cemetery Gates Media.

Her next scheduled release is an anthology of ancestral horror for Titan Books called ROOTS OF MY FEARS, as Editor, and two as of yet unannounced novels.
