Blake Mitchell writes psychological thrillers about ordinary people pushed into extraordinary darkness.

Drawing on a background in criminology and psychology, Blake explores the things that frighten us most—not just the crimes themselves, but the secrets, obsessions and fractured relationships hiding beneath the surface. His stories are built around relentless suspense, deeply flawed characters and twists designed to stay with you long after the final page.

Dark, unsettling and unapologetically unpredictable, Blake's books blur the line between psychological thriller and something darker.

When he's not writing, he's usually somewhere looking for the next strange idea—or wondering just how far he can push the next one.
