The Taking Of Annie Thorne by C. J. Tudor

Then
One night, my little sister went missing. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, she came back. She couldn’t, or wouldn’t, say what had happened. But she wasn’t the same afterwards. She wasn’t my Annie. Sometimes my own little sister scared me to death.
Now
The email arrives in my inbox:
I know what happened to your sister. It’s happening again ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
C. J. Tudor’s second novel is a tightly plotted horror tale that gives more than a nod to Stephen King’s PET SEMETARY but which nevertheless has a distinctly British feel. The amoral and desperate Joe makes for an interesting protagonist and I liked Tudor’s depiction of a broken pit village while the supernatural elements are generally creepy. All in all, this is a great Halloween chiller and I will definitely check out THE CHALK MAN.
