What They Do In The Dark Book

You will want to know a bit about this book before you commit to reading it. This novel is about two very different girls growing up in a tough Yorkshire town in the 1970s - spoilt Gemma, who seems to have everything, and neglected Pauline, who has less than nothing. But that is not the only story. A tale of penny sweets, suburban back gardens, swimming trips and Butlins holidays makes way for something altogether more sinister. And it is this story that will pull you towards its unimaginable climax, leaving you - haunted? Heartbroken? Angry? This is the story that won't let you go. This is the story you won't be able to forget. This is What They Do in the Dark.Read More

    A Yorkshire town in 1975 home to two very different ten-year-old girls: cosseted but neglected Gemma and semi-feral clever Pauline. What they share is an obsession with child TV star Lallie Paluza. And they are not alone in their obsession: every adult in Lallie's life from her agent to her producer to her mother wants a piece of her. When Lallie arrives to shoot a film in their home town Gemma and Pauline seize the chance to make their wildest and darkest dreams come true. But Lallie's presence proves a terrible catalyst for larger forces at odds with the familiar routines penny sweets and swimming trips of provincial childhood. As Gemma and Pauline are caught up in a dark and dangerous world they cannot understand events move towards a horrifying climax that explodes the comforting stories we tell ourselves about growing up.
