  This is a novel about two very different girls, and how sometimes, the sum can be more terrifying than each of its parts. 'You may think you know what they do in the dark ...But who are they ? ...Set in the mid-1970s, What They Do in the Dark combines cosy nostalgia (jumbo lollies, gas fires) with rumbles of apprehension. Something awful's going to happen, but it's not clear what ...A terrific debut, full of energy and colour; as propulsive as a thriller' Carrie O'Grady, Guardian

  You will want to know a bit about this book before you commit to reading it. This novel is about two very different girls growing up in a tough Yorkshire town in the 1970s - spoilt Gemma, who seems to have everything, and neglected Pauline, who has less than nothing. But that is not the only story. A tale of penny sweets, suburban back gardens, swimming trips and Butlins holidays makes way for something altogether more sinister. And it is this story that will pull you towards its unimaginable climax, leaving you - haunted? Heartbroken? Angry? This is the story that won't let you go. This is the story you won't be able to forget. This is What They Do in the Dark.
