Hello!

I am a Young Adult horror/thriller writer from the North-West of England and my new book,PAINT ME LIKE YOUR DEAD GIRLS is out with Penguin Random House in July.

​
I have a long-standing love affair with all things scary, reading Point Horrors before graduating to Stephen King in my misguided teens. Studying for a degree in Art History and Archaeology meant that I developed a thirst for anything old, beautiful and very often dead. I try to combine this with contemporary settings in my writing to make unique and chilling modern stories.

I live in my hometown of Manchester with my husband and our rescue dog, Loli, who you will see a lot of on TikTok and Instagram @CynthiaMurphyYA
