YOU LET ME IN One Year Old!

This pretty, blue bird is one year old today!!!

It’s been quite a ride — truly life changing, and deeply healing on a personal level. I’m beyond thrilled that Cassie and Pepper-Man are still going strong and picking up new readers.

“Smart, creepy . . . glittering and menacing . . . deliciously terrifying.”
Laird Hunt, Guardian

“This beguiling and unsettling debut had me hooked from the first page . . . a unique, strange and defiant folk horror story which lingers long in the memory.”
Daily Express

YOU LET ME IN is out in paperback in the UK

And it looks amazing!

You can find and buy it from here!

Pepper-Man is Book of the Year!

Pepper-Man (the German edition of YOU LET ME IN), just won ‘Book of the Year 2020’, courtesy of the good people at Phantastik-Couch.de.

The jury said:

With her debut, Camilla Bruce presents a gripping genre mix of horror, thriller and drama. The fairies, more in fairy tales, are dusted off and drawn into the supposed reality in a dangerously grotesque way. An ambiguous horror tale that stays in people’s heads for a long time thanks to its clever narrative.

In the Garden of Spite has landed!

“In the Garden of Spite is a chilling, pitch-perfect novel that should finally make Belle Gunness a household name. A superb and unforgettable read.”
Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of A Murderous Relation

My ‘audacious novel of feminine rage’ has arrived in the world, and I just couldn’t be more happy!
