Cliff McNish

Cliff McNish

  • 4 stars across 27 books
When Cliff McNish was born, the electricity in his house failed, plunging him in darkness. Perhaps this explains why his first published book began as a story about a really nasty witch for his young daughter, Rachel. THE DOOMSPELL and its sequels became instant bestsellers, with rights sold in 17 languages. Since then, Cliff's multiple-award winning dark fantasies for older readers, BREATHE and ANGEL, have continued to win him avid fans. Cliff is a popular visitor in schools and at festivals. He lives with his wife in south-east London in a house that is very dark and very old.
