Sarah Pinborough is a British author who has worked across horror, dark fantasy, thriller, and young adult fiction over a career spanning more than two decades. She started in horror with The Hidden (2004) and spent years building a reputation in genre fiction before breaking into the mainstream with Behind Her Eyes (2017), a psychological thriller with a famous twist ending that was adapted into a Netflix series.
Her earlier work includes the Dog-Faced Gods trilogy, a dark urban fantasy about a London detective investigating supernatural crimes, and the Tales from the Kingdoms series, which retells classic fairy tales with a darker, adult sensibility. She also wrote the Nowhere Chronicles for younger readers, contributed to the Torchwood novel line, and published the Dr. Thomas Bond duology, a horror-tinged take on the Jack the Ripper case.
Pinborough’s more recent thrillers, including Cross Her Heart (2018), Dead to Her (2020), and Insomnia (2022), have kept her in the mainstream spotlight. She has also been a regular contributor to horror and dark fantasy anthologies. Her range is unusual: few writers move as easily between supernatural horror, fairy tale retelling, YA adventure, and domestic thriller.
