Adam Nevill announces forthcoming titles for new Virgin Books horror list
Posted in: Press Room on 13th April 2008 by UKSFBN admin
From Virgin Books editor Adam Nevill:
"I am now embarking upon the ambitious task of publishing horror fiction as a mainstream publishing concern again in the UK. My goal is too create a more mature focus - horror with style and originality. Fresh and edgy contemporary fiction marketed at a more sophisticated readership than purely the traditional adolescent male demographic.

Posted in: Press Room on 6th February 2008 by UKSFBN admin
Virgin Books are launching a new paperback horror range later this year and they've been in touch to let us know that their first two titles will be The Unblemished by Conrad Williams and The Grin of the Dark by Ramsey Campbell.
Virgin Books' Emily Cary-Elwes had the following to tell us about the first two titles: "The Unblemished is an epic drama of flesh-eating monsters and hunted survivors that rivals 28 Days Later, artfully interweaving the stories of a mother determined to protect her only daughter, and a serial killer who believes he is the rightful heir to an ancient dynasty of flesh eating monsters.
