What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

A small Alaskan town.
A missing boy.
A brutal murder.
A detective brought in from out of state to assist the former sherriff who investigated a similar murder twenty-five years ago.
But are they hunting a twisted psychopath - or something even more terrifying?

Praise for C. J. Tudor:

'A truly terrifying, ice-cold chiller from the master of macabre. C.J. Tudor should be on everyone's must-read list' Chris Whitaker

'The wildest thriller of the year is three thrillers in one. Buckle up' Linwood Barclay

'An exceptional thriller. Original, high-octane plot, jaw-dropping twists . . . A writer at the top of her game' Claire Douglas

Critics Review

Britain’s female Stephen King returns with a sparkling, yet terrifying, story of a colony of vampires . . . this a brilliant high-concept thriller

Daily Mail

C.J. Tudor is getting better and bolder with every novel, and the bar was pretty high to start with. THE GATHERING is an incredibly exciting novel, tightly plotted and brilliantly tense, with an atmosphere you could eat with a spoon

STUART TURTON

The author is the British queen of horror and, now, vampires

Sun

A crime thriller with a vampiric twist. What a cracking read and such assured writing. She just gets better and better!

SARAH PINBOROUGH

CJ Tudor is a genius. The Gathering kept me on the edge of my seat to the very last page. A tour de force!

AVA GLASS

Tensely told

Financial Times

Tudor slays with this brilliantly imaginative take on the vampire genre. This genre is tailor made for her. It’s as if it’s her own invention. There’s nothing she can’t turn her hand to. Fangbloodytastic

JOHN MARRS

My first vampire book but it definitely won’t be my last! Really enjoyed The Gathering, a chilling and claustrophobic story set in the snowy wilderness of Alaska

B.A. PARIS

So menacing and claustrophobic. Ice cold and darkly bloody. I loved it. Bravo, C.J. Tudor, you are the Queen of Horror

LOUISE SWANSON

A peerless blend of thriller and horror, with darkness and danger pouring from every page. Cuts right to the heart of the evil some are capable of, and the consequences that come crashing down. Powered through it in twenty-four hours
