A Sliver of Darkness
A Sliver of Darkness: Stories | C.J. Tudor
The debut short story collection from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man, hailed as "Britain's female Stephen King" (Daily Mail), 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.

A good book of short stories. They‘re thriller/suspense/semi-horror. I enjoy the author‘s other books and this was a fun read.

“End of the Liner”, about people living their lives–literally their whole lives–on a cruise ship is one of my favorites. “I‘m Not Ted” is a humorous story about a man who arrives at The Elevation Department and can‘t seem to convince anyone that he is not Ted. “Final Course”, “The Copy Shop”, and “Dust” all have Twilight Zone vibes and I enjoyed them immensely. “Runaway Blues” has a deliciously twisted ending that I loved!

Great short story collection, creepy and unnerving in equal measure. I love the little intro before each story as she explains how the story came into being.

A #Dark title. I picked up this horror short story collection at my local indie bookstore & added it to my #Scarathlon TBR. I‘m trying to read at least one short story per day during the month & I start this collection next.

Normally not the biggest fan of short story collections but I‘ve enjoyed all the other works I‘ve read by C. J. Tudor. All the stories were enjoyable, rather short, and often left you hanging at the end (which is frustrating but quite fun). I loved how the author introduced each short story - their idea behind it.

Librariana Glad you found a redeeming quality to a format/style you might not otherwise typically enjoy 😊 14mo

A Sliver of Darkness is filled with tales that each pack a very different punch! Needless to say, these stories are going to stick in my head for quite some time.

This collection of short stories is terrifying, grotesque, ingenious, entertaining, did I mention terrifying? I loved it! C. J. Tudor is a must read, for me, and should be for everyone. I tore through this short book, even though I shouldn‘t have read some of these at night. Am I sleeping with the lights on? There‘s a distinct possibility. Get this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While I‘m not typically a fan of short stories, I genuinely loved reading this collection from Tudor. I‘ve enjoyed her full-length novels, too, but this made for a fast and entertaining read! The 11 stories here each open with a little introduction that feels like a behind-the-scenes peek that I really appreciated. Some of these are a little funny, some tense and some spooky- there‘s a lot of post/mid-apocalypse which gives this a timely feel!
