Faith in the Flesh is a compilation of two novellas, which explore the idea of Mother Nature plotting her revenge against humankind. Tim Lebbon's writing conjures up an hypnotic atmosphere, with an intense feeling of dread. Despite the poor typesetting, the two stories are still very good, and the author, along with the publisher, deserves to do well.

Open Wounds
3 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
What happens when humanity is faced with the worst threat of all, that of disappearance and annihilation? Then our true colors come to the surface, exposed to all like open wounds. The worst of us comes out, the best of us is buried deep within us, and the whole world surrenders to cahos. These are the things Tim Lebbon explores in the two novellas that constitute Faith in the Flesh.
The first novella is called The First Law. Here, we have five men who are stranded on a strange island after their ship has sunk. These military men will be faced with the worst this planet has to offer. The island is like nothing they've ever seen before, forcing them to feel and experience things that they never thought they had in them. Suspenseful and lyrical, this story is a one-of-a-kind effort that is great entertainment.
The second novella, From Bad Flesh, is one of Lebbon's best efforts. It's also one of the best apocalyptic novellas out there. After the world as we know it has fallen into a new Dark Age, diseases and war are slowly taking away most of the earth's population. One man, Gabe, is afflicted by one of these diseases and decides to leave on a mission to find a man who might have the power to cure him. His travels will make his see horrible things, and they will help him discover the dark truth about his world. Thought-provoking and written with skills that could challenge any classical author, From Bad Flesh is a tour de force that brings you into an introspection, that always affects you in just the right ways. You'll feel uneasy, sad, mad... Every single emotion will pass through you while reading this story. And the final climax is simply mindblowing.
Lebbon is one of the most important and freshest voice in dark fiction. Reading Lebbon is like nothing you've experienced before. So fasten your seat belt, hold on tight and be ready to be amazed.
