The Gathering cover

In The Gathering, a detective investigates a series of chilling murders in Deadhart, Alaska, uncovering dark secrets and supernatural elements.

In The Gathering, C.J. Tudor transports readers to the eerie town of Deadhart, Alaska, where a series of gruesome murders has everyone on edge. The story begins with the shocking discovery of a boy found with his throat ripped out, his blood drained completely. As the chilling events unfold, the townsfolk quickly point fingers at the vampyr colony nestled in the nearby mountains. However, out-of-state detective Barbara Atkins is not convinced by the prevailing narrative; she suspects that there are deeper, darker secrets lurking beneath the surface of this seemingly quiet town.

As Barbara digs deeper into the case, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that complicates her investigation. The chilling atmosphere of Deadhart becomes increasingly oppressive as the snow continues to fall and the body count rises. With each passing day, Barbara races against time to determine whether she is hunting a cold-blooded murderer or a supernatural monster. The stakes are high, and the tension escalates as she grapples with her own fears and the potential truth behind the horrific events.

The Gathering is more than just a thriller; it is a masterful blend of horror and suspense that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. C.J. Tudor's writing shines as she weaves a tale filled with unexpected twists and a haunting atmosphere, making it a must-read for fans of the genre. As the chilling conclusion approaches, readers will find themselves questioning not only the identity of the killer but also the very nature of fear itself.
