The Reach of Children, the latest novela by Tim Lebbon, is a story of childhood, bereavement and hope, and explores just how far some people — living, or dead — will go to protect the ones they love.
Daniel is ten years old when his mother dies. She dies young, and with so much left to give. He does not understand. He cannot let her go.
After the funeral, his father begins talking to a large wooden box that suddenly appears beneath his bed. And when Daniel whispers to the box one day when his father goes out… it answers back.
It's a voice he does not know. But this voice knows so much.
The novella comes complete with an Introduction written by Michael Marshall Smith, as well as an Author’s Afterword, making this so much more than a simple novella. No, this is a towering monolith of a must have book for the ‘Lebbon Acolyte’ and general horror reader alike.
This is the only planned publication of The Reach of Children and can be pre-ordered in two differing editions, both of which will be formally released in September.
