Hannah awakens to carnage, all mangled metal and shattered glass. Evacuated from a secluded boarding school during a snowstorm, her coach careered off the road, trapping her with a handful of survivors. They’ll need to work together to escape—with their sanity and secrets intact.

Meg awakens to a gentle rocking. She’s in a cable car stranded high above snowy mountains, with five strangers and no memory of how they got on board. They are heading to a place known only as “The Retreat,” but as the temperature drops and tensions mount, Meg realizes they may not all make it there alive.

Carter is gazing out the window of an isolated ski chalet that he and his companions call home. As their generator begins to waver in the storm, something hiding in the chalet’s depths threatens to escape, and their fragile bonds will be tested when the power finally fails—for good.

The imminent dangers faced by Hannah, Meg, and Carter are each one part of the puzzle. Lurking in their shadows is an even greater danger—one with the power to consume all of humanity.

The debut short story collection from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man, featuring ten bone-chilling and mind-bending tales

Timeslips. Doomsday scenarios. Killer butterflies. C. J. Tudor's 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 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 cold-hearted killer, but can a leopard really change its spots? And in I'm Not Ted, a case of mistaken identity has unforeseen, fatal consequences.

Riveting and explosively original, A Sliver of Darkness is C. J. Tudor at her most wicked and uninhibited.

Пятьсот лет назад в деревне Чепел-Крофт заживо сожгли ни в чем не повинных людей. Среди них были две молодые девушки, чьи призраки якобы до сих пор являются жителям поселения. Тридцать лет назад здесь же пропали без вести две подруги, юные Джой и Мерри. И вот теперь в часовне повесился местный викарий. На замену ему в деревню прибывает женщина-священник Джек с дочерью Фло. Однако мрачная аура деревни и ее жуткие тайны не сулят чужачкам ничего хорошего. Ведь они — часть этих секретов. В Чепел-Крофт зреет возмездие тех, кто помнит все.

W tej uroczej angielskiej wiosce w XVI wieku na stosie spalono grupę wieśniaków, w tym dwie nastolatki. Trzydzieści lat temu zaginęły tam dwie dziewczyny, a przed dwoma miesiącami samobójstwo popełnił proboszcz miejscowej parafii.

Jack Brooks – pastorka Kościoła anglikańskiego, oraz samotna matka piętnastoletniej córki – przybywa do wioski, aby objąć parafię po zmarłym poprzedniku. Wśród jego rzeczy znajduje m.in. zestaw do egzorcyzmów i notkę z cytatem z Pisma Świętego. „Nie ma bowiem nic ukrytego, co by nie wyszło na jaw, ani nic tajnego, co by się nie stało wiadome”.

Im lepiej Jack i jej córka Flo poznają wieś i jej mieszkańców, tym głębiej zostają wciągnięte w podziały, tajemnice i podejrzenia. A kiedy Flo nawiedzają wizje w starej kaplicy, staje się jasne, że w Chapel Croft są duchy, które nie mogą znaleźć spokoju.

Jednak odkrycie prawdy może być niezwykle trudne. W Chapel Croft każdy ma coś do ukrycia i nikt nie ufa obcym.

Welcome to Chapel Croft. Five hundred years ago, eight protestant martyrs were burned at the stake here. Thirty years ago, two teenage girls disappeared without a trace. And two months ago, the vicar of the local parish killed himself.

Reverend Jack Brooks, a single parent with a fourteen-year-old daughter and a heavy conscience, arrives in the village hoping to make a fresh start and find some peace. Instead, Jack finds a town mired in secrecy and a strange welcome package: an old exorcism kit and a note quoting scripture. "But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known."

The more Jack and her daughter Flo get acquainted with the town and its strange denizens, the deeper they are drawn into their rifts, mysteries, and suspicions. And when Flo is troubled by strange sightings in the old chapel, it becomes apparent that there are ghosts here that refuse to be laid to rest.

But uncovering the truth can be deadly in a village where everyone has something to protect, everyone has links with the village's bloody past, and no one trusts an outsider.

Then....
One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after 48 hours, she came back. Though she couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened to her.
But something happened to my sister. I can't explain what.
I just know that when she came back, she wasn't the same.
She wasn't my Annie.
I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister.

Now....
The email arrived in my inbox nearly two months ago.
I almost deleted it straight away - but I clicked Open:
I know what happened to your sister. It's happening again....

В ту ночь, восемь лет назад, моя сестра Энни пропала. Ее искали, но тщетно. Тогда я приготовился к худшему. Однако через сорок восемь часов она вернулась. Энни не хотела говорить, что с ней произошло и где она была… После возвращения сестра стала другой. Это была уже не моя Энни. Я боялся ее и боялся признаться в этом… Чуть больше месяца назад мне на почту пришло письмо. Короткая фраза: «Я знаю, что случилось с твоей сестрой. Это происходит снова». Мне казалось, что исчезновение сестры было самым жутким, самым ужасным из всего, что могло произойти. Но потом я понял, что хуже всего то, что она вернулась…

Joe never wanted to come back to Arnhill. After the way things ended with his old gang--the betrayal, the suicide, the murder--and after what happened when his sister went missing, the last thing he wanted to do was return to his hometown. But Joe doesn't have a choice. Because judging by what was done to that poor Morton kid, what happened all those years ago to Joe's sister is happening again. And only Joe knows who is really at fault.

Lying his way into a teaching job at his former high school is the easy part. Facing off with former friends who are none too happy to have him back in town--while avoiding the enemies he's made in the years since--is tougher. But the hardest part of all will be returning to that abandoned mine where it all went wrong and his life changed forever, and finally confronting the shocking, horrifying truth about Arnhill, his sister, and himself. Because for Joe, the worst moment of his life wasn't the day his sister went missing.

It was the day she came back.

In 1986, Eddie and his friends are just kids on the verge of adolescence. They spend their days biking around their sleepy English village and looking for any taste of excitement they can get. The chalk men are their secret code: little chalk stick figures they leave for one another as messages only they can understand. But then a mysterious chalk man leads them right to a dismembered body, and nothing is ever the same.

In 2016, Eddie is fully grown, and thinks he's put his past behind him. But then he gets a letter in the mail, containing a single chalk stick figure. When it turns out that his friends got the same message, they think it could be a prank . . . until one of them turns up dead.

That's when Eddie realizes that saving himself means finally figuring out what really happened all those years ago.
