"They kept monsters." That's what Tom overhears in the bar that night. And he hears more things that can finally lead him to the truth about his son's death ten years before. The army had said it was a training accident. But why had the coffin they sent home been sealed?
So on a dark night, in a deserted field, Tom begins to unearth the mass grave where he hopes—and fears—that he will find his son's remains. He finds instead madness: corpses in chains and dead bodies that still move and grasp and clutch. And one little girl, dead and rotting, who promises to help Tom find what he's looking for, if only he will free her…

Raves and Reviews
Recommended Best Novel - British Fantasy Award
"Those who go for cold, queasy horror will embrace the latest shocker from Stoker-winner Lebbon."-Publishers Weekly
"Berserk is a mysterious and moody novel that packs a hell of an emotional wallop. Murder, monsters, and mayhem - Lebbon takes them all to the max! Lebbon is one of the most compulsively readable writers working in the dark fantasy field today." - Tom Piccirilli
"Tim Lebbon is a master of fantasy and horror, and his visions make for disturbing and compelling reading." - Douglas Clegg
"An absolutely thrilling read that hurtles along at a breakneck and terrifying speed. Beserk is everything the title promises it to be. This is can't-put-down fiction at it's best." - Brian Keene
"...[C]ertainly Lebbon's best book to date.... I don't want to give away too much but this is a superb and shocking horror novel, and definitely not for those with weak stomachs. The child character, Natasha, is particularly memorable." -- Science Fiction Chronicle
"Tim Lebbon's newest novel is a fresh take on the vampire/werewolf mythos that manages to not only be a highly entertaining read…it's also quite creepy." --Buried.com
"BERSERK enthralls by presenting a new look at an age-old bogeyman. Not since Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND has a vampire story been so contemporary." -- Horror Reader
"Fast paced, exciting, intelligent and horrific, BERSERK is a terrific novel, one that cements Lebbon's reputation as one of the most able and inventive writers in the horror genre today. Chock full of non-stop action, mayhem, and offbeat humor, it's a perfect example of how a chase novel should be executed, constantly upping the ante in terms of danger and surprise, building to bloody crescendo that will come as a relief to its exhausted audience. Well-crafted and well-written, it's a book that's easy to recommend." -Cemetery Dance
