Critics Review

  • All hail the queen of scream. A Sliver of Darkness is C.J. Tudor at her spine-tingling, nightmare-inducing best. Read it if you dare

    CHRIS WHITAKER
  • This unsettling collection of stories from a writer often called the ‘British Stephen King‘ deftly inverts the banal and unremarkable to reveal their underlying horror

    METRO
  • Beautifully barbaric, creepy as hell and crammed with barbed wit, Tudor can say more in one short story than many writers can manage in a full length novel

    JOHN MARRS
  • Brilliantly creepy and perfectly executed

    JAMES OSWALD
  • A decadent and phantasmagorical descent into the dark chasm where I first fell in love with horror fiction. Told with real heart along with daemonic savagery, these are stories to luxuriate with in the tenebrous
