Fran Dorricott’s standalone novels range from psychological thrillers to dark fantasy, published between 2019 and 2025. After the Eclipse (2019) and The Final Child (2021) are suspenseful thrillers built around missing persons and childhood trauma. Wild and Wicked Things (2022) took a different path, blending 1920s atmosphere with witchcraft and forbidden romance in a story that reads more like dark fantasy than crime fiction.
The Lighthouse (2022) and The Loch (2023) returned to more traditional thriller ground, using isolated settings to ratchet up tension. Her most recent book, This Vicious Hunger (2025), continues her pattern of atmospheric, character-driven stories. Each novel is self-contained, but readers will notice Dorricott’s recurring interest in secrets, the weight of the past, and settings that feel as threatening as any human antagonist.
