The Gathering

THE BESTSELLING QUEEN OF HORROR TURNS HER HAND TO VAMPIRES...

WELCOME TO DEADHART. ALASKA. POPULATION 673. LIVING.

A boy is found with his throat ripped out, the blood drained from his body. It’s not the first such killing, and the town knows who to blame: the vampyr colony in the mountains.

But out-of-state detective Barbara Atkins think the evidence doesn’t stack up. People are lying. And Deadhart has a history of dark secrets.

The snow keeps falling, but so do the victims.

Time is running out for Barbara. 

Is she hunting a cold-blooded murderer, or a bloodthirsty monster?

And which does she fear most?

Reviews

"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

"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

"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" —Robert Rutherford
