Her debut novel The Keys of Death will keep you guessing until the end and pondering its implications long after you’ve turned the final page.
Clare also writes urban fantasies and supernatural thrillers—chilling tales of ghosts, monsters, and other fantastic phenomena that defy the laws of science. Volume 1 of the Startling Figures series is available now, with more to come!
