A Sliver of Darkness

The debut short-story collection from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man, hailed as Britains female Stephen King (Daily Mail), featuring eleven bone-chilling and mind-bending tales Time slips. Doomsday scenarios. Killer butterflies. C. J. Tudors novels are widely acclaimed for their dark, twisty suspense plots, but with A Sliver of Darkness, she pulls us even further into her dizzying imagination. In The Lion at the Gate, a strange piece of graffiti leads to a terrifying encounter for four school friends. In Final Course, the world has descended into darkness, but a group of old friends make time for one last dinner party. In Runaway Blues, thwarted love, revenge, and something very nasty stowed in a hat box converge. In Gloria, a strange girl at a service station endears herself to a coldhearted killer, but can a leopard really change its spots? And in Im Not Ted, a case of mistaken identity has unforeseen fatal consequences. Riveting, macabre, and explosively original, A Sliver of Darkness is C. J. Tudor at her most wicked and uninhibited.
