Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Peter Brichs
Peter Brichs asked C.J. Tudor:

When reading The Chalk Man, it seemed to me that Stephen King was an inspiration to you. What's your favourite King novel?

C.J. Tudor Hi Peter, thanks for the question! I am (obviously) a huge King fan. The Shining is my favourite King novel - it's incredibly atmospheric and the tension builds beautifully. After that, probably Pet Sematary because it is so dark and also because it was inspired by my favourite piece of short fiction, The Monkey's Paw. I haven't re-read the latter for several years, but I re-read The Shining almost every winter! x

Hi there, There is a lot going on in The Taking Of Annie Thorne. How do you keep track of everything when you are writing? Do you have a timeline, Post-it notes...?

Right in the middle of reading Annie Thorne. Absolutely love it. There's such great humour in the writing! I've noticed it is not easy to find what C. J. stands for. Not even on Wikipedia! Is this supposed to remain a mystery? :) Cheers!

I love your books. Your ideas are just amazing and the reader probably hasnt ever read anything like it. I was wondering whether you're planning on writing a sequel for any of them?
