Bloomsbury launches literary crime and thriller imprint

Bloomsbury has launched a new imprint that specialises in literary crime, thrillers and suspense, called Raven Books. The imprint, led by UK-based editorial director Alison Hennessey, will launch in January with Erica Ferencik’s The River at Night, ‘a chilling, psychological thriller about four female friends who are pitted against each other for survival when a white water rafting holiday goes drastically wrong’. Other titles to come include a ‘gothic ghost story’ and a ‘high concept murder mystery’. Hennessey said Raven Books ‘will be the home of the best and the brightest in new writing for all those who love their books with a touch of the dark side’.
