Titan Books Ltd Coldbrook
Book SynopsisColdbrook is a secret laboratory located deep in Appalachian Mountains. Its scientists had achieved the impossible: a gateway to a new world. Theirs was to be the greatest discovery in the history of mankind, but they had no idea what they were about to unleash. With their breakthrough comes disease and now it is out and ravaging the human population. The only hope is a cure and the only cure is genetic resistance: an uninfected person amongst the billions dead. In the chaos of destruction there is only one person that can save the human race. But will they find her in time?Trade Review"Coldbrook is a good read with nicely developed characters and some really great action sequences...t’s a zombie apocalypse for sci-fi fans." - Bricks of the Dead"Tim Lebbon takes a fascinating science fiction approach to the zombie apocalypse that reinvigorates the genre with a sense of originality." - Drunken Zombie"Coldbrook is like Stargate meets The Walking Dead and I absolutely recommend this one to anybody who likes sci-fi and/or zombies and/or likes to have the crap scared out of them. There is absolutely no way that I could give Coldbrook any less than FIVE of FIVE zombie heads. I’d give it six if I had a graphic for it." - Zombie Book Blog "Great potential for a movie." - Paper Droids"If you’re looking for a unique sci-fi thriller take on the zombie apocalypse, you should definitely check out Coldbrook." - Fiction Addict "Tim Lebbon is an author I will follow gladly after his superb accomplishment in Coldbrook. I love zombie apocalypses and was pleasantly surprised at Lebbon’s twists and emotionally impacting story." - Adventures in SciFi Publishing"There is no debate that Tim Lebbon is a talented writer. His imagination paints the pages of Coldbrook like priceless art and his descriptive writing style delivers provocative characters, innovative settings and situational catastrophes in highly-detailed prose." - Examiner"Tim Lebbon, in COLDBROOK, has created a terrific zombie story with a fascinating twist, with very human characters, and he’s not afraid to slip very poignant moments among the copious action and nearly unrelenting terror.COLDBROOK is like an awesome lovechild of Stargate and Robert McCammon’s SWAN SONG, with maybe a little dash of 28 Days Later thrown in, but while it reminded me of those films (and book), it’s a distinct, unique, and absorbing work unto itself, one the author can be very, very proud of. Horror fans, thriller fans, and even those of you who love those terrifying books about hot zones and disease hunters will find much to love about this book." - SF Signal "An exciting, thought-provoking novel that will definitely appeal to zombie fans but should also do well with fans of hard SF and technothrillers, too." - Booklist Review “The mixture of mysteries and high tension action makes this a tough novel to put down all the way through to a dark but mostly satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend Coldbrook to anyone looking for a fast paced but intelligent disaster thriller with terrific zombie action. Coldbrook has real substance to chew on which should be just as satisfying to most readers as chewing on brains is to zombies.” – Rat Race Refuge “an incredibly cool, parallel-universe thriller zombie apocalypse novel. Trust me” - Barnes & Noble SFF blog

University of Wales Press New Queer Horror Film and Television
Book SynopsisThis anthology comprises essays that study the form, aesthetics and representations of LGBTQ+ identities in an emerging sub-genre of film and television that we term 'New Queer Horror.' New Queer Horror designates horror that is crafted by directors/producers who identify as gay, bi, queer or transgendered, or works that feature homoerotic or explicitly homosexual narratives with 'out' LGBTQ+ characters. Unlike other studies, this anthology argues that New Queer Horror projects contemporary anxieties within LGBTQ+ subcultures onto its characters and into its narratives, building upon the previously figurative role of Queer monstrosity in the moving image. New Queer Horror thus highlights the limits of a metaphorical understanding of queerness in the horror film in an age where its presence has become more unambiguous. Ultimately, this anthology aims to show that 'New Queer Horror' has in recent years turned the focus of fear on itself, on its own communities and subcultures.Trade Review“This new collection of essays contributes to the ever-expanding field of queer horror scholarship. Vampires, witches, werewolves, serial killers, and more are examined within this relatively ‘out’ era of LGBTQ+ representation, once again demonstrating how this protean genre continues to speak in fascinating ways to issues of gender and sexuality.” -- Harry M. Benshoff, University of North Texas“As everyday life begins to resemble a horror movie for more and more people, so horror genres have had to shift and change to keep pace with the grotesqueries of the quotidian. In this exciting new volume edited and curated in imaginative ways, queer horror takes center stage. While LGBTQ+ people have long played the monster in the horror genre, we can now look at horror from the perspective of those relegated to the monstrous margins. Ranging between new queer readings of old texts and analyses of aesthetic ruptures, this anthology can claim to offer a definitive look at a genre that has neatly taken aim at normal life.” -- Jack Halberstam, Columbia UniversityTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Author Biographies Introduction Part 1: TRANSFORMING, RE-READING AND RE-MAKING QUEER HORROR 1: 'My Brother's Creeper': Towards a Queer (Re-)Reading of Victor Salva's Jeepers Creepers (2001) - John Edgar Browning 2: Queer Cult Performance: Recreating Rocky Horror in the Twenty-First Century - John Lynskey 3: Castrating the Queer Vampire in Let the Right One In (2009) and Let Me In (2010) - Darren Elliott-Smith 4: 'Becoming Hannibal': Identification and Transformation in Queer Horror Television - Ben Tyrer Part 2: QUEER PLAYGROUNDS AND ADOLESCENT HORRORS 5: 'What happened to my sweet girl?': Paranoid and Reparative readings of Queer Subjectivity in Black Swan (2010) and Jack and Diane (2012) - Robyn Ollett 6: 'A Dream Within a Dream': Children's 'Horror' Television and Lesbianism in the World of Marceline the Vampire Queen - Simon Bacon 7: Abjection, Queer Bodies and Grotesque Doppelgangers in Jack and Diane and The Nature of Nicholas - Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns and Mariana Zarate 8: At the Edges of (queer) Time and Space: Atemporality, Adolescence, and Abjection in Final Destination - Christopher Clark Part 3: BADASS WITCHES AND QUEER WOLVES 9: 'If you look in the face of evil, evil's gonna look right back at you': Anthologising Supernatural Sexualities on American Horror Story: Coven - Andrew J.

This book will cement Aliya Whiteley's reputation as one of the finest of a new generation of weird fiction writers. More, please.– Helen Marshall, author of The MigrationStrange, confounding and satisfyingly original, Whiteley’s new novel is an exploration of relationships and the corrosive effect of time. A speculative enquiry into the meaning of freedom itself, the loosening skin will surprise and delight Whiteley’s existing readership and new fans equally. Above all, this is a book that will excite intense discussion.– Nina Allan, author of The RiftAliya Whiteley’s fiction simultaneously scintillates with ideas, skips back and forth across genre boundaries with an ease and audacity that is glorious to behold, and retains such a sense of immediacy and emotional integrity that her readers are drawn into her worlds body and soul. She has the enviable ability to explore big ideas in the most intimate of settings, and to create wholly original realities that leap instantly from the page. for me, she is very much at the forefront of the new wave of UK genre writers.– Mark Morris"Its triumph lies in the way Whiteley uses the metaphor of shedding skin to examine the tortured process of love and attachment."– Guardian"Fascinating new work of fiction." – Library Journal"Beautiful, inventive, and moving.

I wholeheartedly encourage every reader to pick [it] up. It’s the perfect introduction to an amazing author whom I’m frankly quite upset is still indie and not adored by legions of readers."– Roadside Reader"Very occasionally, I’ll read a piece of writing that takes my breath away. It’s rare, but it does happen from time to time. The Loosening Skin by Aliya Whiteley has found a place on this very select list. Whiteley’s work picks apart the nature of love in all its forms."– The Eloquent Page"One of the most fascinating stories I’ve read this year."– Runalong the Shelves"She's a remarkable writer and this latest offering is a unique take on some of humanity's constant truths. It is beautiful, it is engrossing and it will remain with you for a long time.
