Lisa Stone

Lisa Stone is a British author of psychological thrillers that explore the dark side of contemporary life, including surveillance culture, online dangers, and the hidden threats in seemingly safe domestic situations. She is also known as Cathy Glass, under which name she has published bestselling memoirs about her experiences as a foster carer. As Lisa Stone, she writes gripping, technology-inflected thrillers including The Doctor, The Darkness Within, Stalker, The Cottage, and others. The Cottage follows characters to a remote rural retreat where isolation becomes something sinister. Her thrillers often examine how technology — social media, surveillance cameras, tracking apps — can be weaponised in personal relationships. Under both names, Stone/Glass has sold millions of books worldwide, demonstrating her range as a writer who can move between non-fiction memoirs about vulnerable children and dark psychological fiction. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers taut, unsettling thrillers about the dangers that lurk in modern life, written by someone who understands vulnerability and the many forms that control can take.
