THE BESTSELLING QUEEN OF HORROR RETURNS

All the thrills of vintage Stephen King I loved every second of it.

Easily Tudor's strongest novel to date JOHN MARRS Brimming with mystery, dread, and characters to root for, Serenity Falls is one hell of a good time. Move in at your own risk MARCUS KLIEWER An absolute epic, packed with secrets, tragedy, dark humour and great characters JOSH WINNING Beautifully sinister...Serenity Falls takes the dream of suburban perfection and twists it into something deeply unsettling. Creepy, compulsive, and impossible to put down GUY MORPUSS
