Anne Billson’s standalone novels range from horror to dark satire, published over a span of three decades. Her debut novel Dream Demon appeared in 1989, followed by Suckers in 1993, a vampire novel set in the London art world that earned a loyal following for its biting humor and genre-savvy plotting. Stiff Lips arrived in 1997, continuing her streak of fiction that refuses to take itself too seriously while still delivering genuine chills.
After a long gap, Billson returned to fiction with three novels in quick succession. The Coming Thing appeared in 2017, followed by both The Half Man and The Ex in 2019. These later works show a writer who has lost none of her edge, bringing the same combination of dark comedy and horror that made her earlier books memorable. Each novel stands on its own, so readers can pick up any title without needing to have read the others.
