Children aren't always so innocent in this Stephen King-style thriller, backed by MJ's biggest marketing campaign for a debut this year.
C. J. Tudor's love of writing, especially the dark and macabre,
started young. When her peers were reading Judy Blume, she was
devouring Stephen King and James Herbert. Over the years she has
had a variety of jobs, including trainee reporter, radio
scriptwriter, dog walker, voiceover, television presenter and
copywriter.
She is now the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man,
The Taking of Annie Thorne, The Other People, The Burning Girls,
The Drift and The Gathering. All of her books are in development or
optioned for TV. The Burning Girls is available on Netflix.
She is also the author of a short story collection, A Sliver of
Darkness.
