News & Events

Fragile is one today! It’s one of June’s Best Thrillers in The Times, and in The Financial Times. A Book of the Month over at LoveReading, it has a glowing review in Good Housekeeping.

Best of all, stacks of my favourite authors love it, including Ian Rankin who said, ‘(Fragile) is a Gothic joy. Think Barbara Vine writing Entertaining Mr Sloane.’

Signed copies are available at Goldsboro Books, Ledbury Books and Booka Bookshop.

You can order with free worldwide shipping from the Book Depository.

Fragile is also available in lots of independent bookshops across the UK, via the usual online retailers, as well as WH Smith, Waterstones, Blackwells and Foyles. Thank you for reading!

I’m thrilled to be doing this, thanks to the brilliant William Shaw (mastermind of Reading Party). Do come if you can.

It’s such a special way to experience the book. A small group of us will read a section of Fragile and then chat about the book. I’ll be signing special bookplates on the night.

Tickets cost £14.99 to include a hardback copy of the book, or £5 without the books, and can be bought here.

I’m excited to be teaming up with my local indie bookshop for these special hardbacks of Fragile. If you’d like a dedication and a bespoke vintage orchid bookplate then order via lovely Ledbury Books here.

This by Hephzibah Anderson for BBC Culture is a great piece about Gothic fiction and its continuing fascination.

I studied Gothic literature at university and was very happy to revisit my studies to contribute to this. What do you think, are we in the middle of Gothic revival ..?
