John Blackburn (1923-93) was born in the Northamptonshire village of Corbridge, England, the second son of a clergyman. He attended Haileybury College but his education was interrupted by the onset of World War II; the shadow of the war, in particular that of Nazi Germany, would later play a role in many of his works. 'Children of the Night' is set around the remote Yorkshire village of Dunstonholme where a series of violent and puzzling deaths seem to be the work of some malignant extrasensory force. \"John Blackburn is today's master of horror, and this latest novel, about a village gripped by the culmination of ancient vileness, induces proper shivers\" - Times Literary Supplement\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BLACKBURN, John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52898707145047,"sku":"21278","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/6753\/7239\/files\/21278.jpg?v=1772355285","url":"https:\/\/worldsendbookshop.com\/products\/john-blackburn-children-of-the-night-jonathan-cape-1966","provider":"Worlds End Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
