Prix et récompenses
Tim Lebbon has burst upon the scene and established himself as one of the best horror writers at work today. He is the winner of numerous awards, including a Bram Stoker Award, critics have raved about his work, and fans have eagerly embraced him as a contemporary master of the macabre. Perhaps nowhere are the reasons for his popularity more evident than in this collection of four of his most chilling novellas. Two of these dark gems received British Fantasy Awards, and another was written specifically for this book and has never previously been published. These terrifying tales form a window into a world of horrors that, once experienced, can never be forgotten. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The first novella follows a man and his friend as they search for an ancient ruin that might have ties to a race of people that time has forgotten, save for vague mentions of its location. At times it felt Lovecraftian in nature, and that feel (the classic first-person narrative, mystic locations, etc.) really enhanced it.
I was personally referred by Brian Keene to read White, the second novella, due to my love for post-apocalyptic works, and I am very glad that he brought it to my attention. Although there are times where it seems to go too slow, White has enough action and wonderful characterization to make it an excellent story.
The third and fourth novellas weren't as good as the others, but the fourth one was pretty entertaining. I felt that the third one was the weakest of the bunch, and that it suffered from some very slow pacing, although it starts off fast enough. All in all, Fears Unnamed was a fun read and very enjoyable. ( )
