Bestselling Kent author of The End of Mr Y, Scarlett Thomas's latest novel, The Sleepwalkers, is a wickedly funny and sublimely creepy tale of a couple’s demise while holidaying on a Greek island. Playful and political... expect Daphne du Maurier meets Patricia Highsmith. With host Daniel Hahn.

Scarlett Thomas's novels include Bright Young Things, Going Out, PopCo, Seed Collectors and The End of Mr. Y, which was longlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2007. Her first novel for children, Dragon’s Green – the first in the thrilling Worldquake sequence – was published in 2017. She teaches at the University of Kent.
