Beaumont is Back!

The master of psycho-supernatural fiction returns with his third novel this coming spring.

Lost Sessions Sebastian Beaumont

March sees the launch of Sebastian Beaumont’s third
publication with Myrmidon, following the successes of
Thirteen and The Juggler.

Like its predecessors, The Lost Sessions is a genuine
page-turner, another deliciously dark fable of the
psyche that explores the twilight margins of the cerebral and the supernatural.

Thirteen told of the bizarre and sinister experiences of a Brighton taxi driver on the night shift – something of which the author had real experience. In The Juggler, a man finds a large amount of cash in a bag and leaves his wife and child for a new beginning in a remote seaside town, which turns out to be strange, disturbing and far from the escape he was hoping for.

Do you remember watching the Lord of the Rings films and being completely enamoured with the beauty of the New Zealand countryside? With rolling hills and lush forests, you might even have forgotten that there was a fantastical plot going on, planning as you were a visit to New Zealand for your next holiday.

It’s much the same when watching The Garden of Evening Mists (TGOEM).

Set in the tranquil wilderness and picturesque tea plantations of Cameron Highlands, this tragic romance of a film is worth watching simply for the beautiful setting. Slated for release on Jan 16, TGOEM is an adaptation of the award-winning novel of the same name, written by Tan Twan Eng.

The Pincers of Death by Toby Frost

For those of you eagerly anticipating the latest instalment of Toby Frost’s Space Captain Smith series – out in October – here’s the fantastic cover illustration, another masterpiece from Angelo Rinaldi.

THE PINCERS OF DEATH

So what’s in store for Smith and the crew of the John Pym? Some hints follow:

The empire of the ant-people is beginning to crumble. As the British Space Navy prepares to invade the Ghast home world, the Secret Service comes up with a daring plan – the assassination of Number One, the small and furious dictator of the Ghasts. Only one man has the qualities needed to take on a job this dangerous –    Captain Isambard Smith.

But Smith has problems of his own. Captured by the ruthless – and gormless – Criminarch of Radishia, Smith and his crew must survive the deadly sport of Hyperbowl, where it’s not whether you win or lose that counts, but how you slay the game.

Now Isambard Smith faces his toughest challenge yet. In order to civilise the galaxy, he will have to win a ball game, topple a dictator and organise a party for a four-year-old. All in a day’s work for a hero of the British Space Empire – although it’s going to be a very busy day indeed.
