IN THE GARDEN OF SPITE
I’m so very excited to share my next novel, IN THE GARDEN OF SPITE, an audacious tale of feminine rage about one of the most prolific female serial killers in American history — and the men who drove her to it!
Coming next January!
YOU LET ME IN is OUT in the US!
I’m so very happy to announce that YOU LET ME IN is now out in the US!
You Let Me In delivers a stunning tale from debut author Camilla Bruce, combining the sinister domestic atmosphere of Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects with the otherwordly thrills of Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
Cassandra Tipp is dead…or is she?
After all, the notorious recluse and eccentric bestselling novelist has always been prone to flights of fancy—everyone in town remembers the shocking events leading up to Cassie’s infamous trial (she may have been acquitted, but the insanity defense only stretches so far).
Cassandra Tipp has left behind no body—just her massive fortune, and one final manuscript.
Then again, there are enough bodies in her past—her husband Tommy Tipp, whose mysterious disembowelment has never been solved, and a few years later, the shocking murder-suicide of her father and brother.
Cassandra Tipp will tell you a story—but it will come with a terrible price. What really happened, out there in the woods—and who has Cassie been protecting all along? Read on, if you dare…

YOU LET ME IN is OUT in the UK!
I am so very proud and pleased to announce that You Let Me In is out in the world!
It was published in the UK this week, and will be out in the US next month.
Praise for You Let Me In:
“By the end of the third page I was not only hooked, but beginning to think that this might be the best book I’d read all year . . . creepy, pagan, detailed, entrancing. I loved it.”
JOANNE HARRIS, author of Chocolat and The Strawberry Thief
“A bewitching, beguiling, and deeply unsettling tale of one woman’s strange life. It will ensnare you from page one and keep you riveted until the end.”
CAITLIN STARLING, author of The Luminous Dead
“Dark and immersive; a feast of storytelling that lingers long after the last morsel’s been consumed.”
SAM LLOYD, author of The Memory Wood
“A glorious, pitch-black fairytale of a book. Lush, strange and defiant. As soon as I finished it, I went straight back to the start and read it again.”
KIRSTY LOGAN, author of Things We Say in the Dark
“Exploring the darker side of fairytales, it inhabits that liminal space where folklore and horror collide. A worrying tale where reality is filtered through the unreal, and the rational rubs shoulders with the supernatural, this is a beguiling story of love and revenge.”
LUCIE MCKNIGHT HARDY, author of Water Shall Refuse Them
