"Everything I write is based on truth in some way.
People often criticise modern horror stories for being
too graphic in their powerful images and sexual content,

I just write about what I know.
And you can't condemn me for that.
Because it's real..."
~ Peaky
Having survived several life or death situations, British writer Riven Peake (known as Peaky) is only too aware of the potential horrors of the real world, and also perhaps uniquely qualified to write about them. As such, she aims to give her readers a glimpse into the intense, high-emotion scenarios she knows only too well, fusing powerful psychological thriller with a sinister terror that is sure to get their pulses racing.

What would you do to survive..?
Imagine waking to find yourself bound, held hostage, and transported on a terrifying journey.
