Bryony Pearce

Bryony Pearce writes dark fiction for younger readers alongside psychological suspense. Angel’s Fury, published by Egmont, established her interest in identity, memory, and the supernatural. The Weight of Souls, released through Strange Chemistry, follows a teenager burdened with avenging the dead and draws on Egyptian mythology. Little Rumours belongs to a later phase of Pearce's career: Avon published it as a domestic noir about a small community unsettled by a child's disappearance and the suspicions that follow. Pearce's own biography connects these different audiences through a consistent taste for thrillers, paranormal adventure, dystopia, and horror. She also teaches writing, mentors other authors, and regularly works with schools and literary events.
