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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tudor is on top form here with a range of brilliantly realised characters, engaging dialogue, atmospheric scene-setting and the perfect twisty, yet convincing, plot

A small Alaskan town. 
A brutal murder. 
Echoes of a killing twenty-five years ago. 
An out-of-state detective brought in to assist the sheriff who investigated the original case. 
But as the snow thickens and the nights grow longer…are they hunting a twisted psychopath or something even more terrifying?

the blood drained from his body. It’s not the first 
such killing, and the town knows who to blame:

doesn’t stack up. People are lying.

or a bloodthirsty monster?
