A cancelled star. A cursed camp. And a killer who doesn’t care if you’re trending…


A whole lot of bloody fun with a serious message at its heart’ CJ. Tudor

‘Beautifully written and impossible to put down’ Fiona Cummins

This book is incredible! I can’t recommend Heads Will Roll enough’ William Hussey

--

Cancelled after a drunken, ill-advised post, TV-star Willow McKenzie is sent to Camp Castaway – a retreat in the woods where you hide from your mistakes.

Spoiler #1: there’s nowhere to hide.

That first night, fellow campers gather round a fire, telling ghost stories. And Willow hears the tale of Knock-Knock Nancy – a beheaded local woman whose spirit still roams the woods.

Spoiler #2: she takes her victim’s heads.

Willow doesn’t believe in ghosts – until next day, a camper vanishes. And, that evening, Willow hears it:

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Spoiler #3: It’s already too late . . .

Bestselling authors are LOSING THEIR HEADS over Josh Winning

‘I really enjoyed the way Heads Will Roll plays with all the horror/slasher tropes, while also taking aim at the pitfalls of social media and cancel culture. A whole lot of bloody fun with a serious message at its heart’ CJ Tudor

‘I enjoyed Heads Will Roll, with its compelling, complex characters and inventiveness in how it engaged politically with its horrors’ Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie

‘This book is incredible! A gripping slice of 80s-inspired horror with a rattling good plot, terrific characters and zingy dialogue, and with something important to say about the world today. I can’t recommend Heads Will Roll enough’ William Hussey, award-winning author of Killing Jericho

‘Between the frequent jump scares and blood spillage, Winning’s story is packed with an awful lot of heart. Readers will be on the edges of their seats’ Publishers Weekly

‘Winning continues to write great horror novels, and this is a must-buy… a warm love letter to slasher flicks… [he] masterfully builds a story that will leave readers breathless... The pacing is frenetic and captivating’ Library Journal

‘A brilliantly fun horror concept, expertly executed by a blossoming talent in the genre - if you like your thrillers dark, funny, clever and bang up to date, then this is the book for you’ Susi Holliday

‘I really enjoyed this chilling book. A thrilling read, and it would make a great movie’ Michael Wood, author of the DCI Matilda Darke series
