★SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE★

She had it all. But who, or what, had ripped it all away?

In the years since singer-songwriter Christy DeCarli won reality show Nashville Dreams, her life has descended into a wretched personal hell.

Reeling from the breakdown of her once perfect marriage and terrified by the haunting visions of her recently still born child, she is ready to end her pain.

On the other side of the quaint Massachusetts village of Boxforth, God-fearing grandmother Ida Buckley is battling her own demons. Depressed and embarrassed by her current squalid living arrangements, Ida has become obsessed with the famous neighbor that shares her haunted little corner of America.

…but the old lady has a secret. A secret so dark and nightmarish that what’s left of Christy DeCarli’s young life will be changed forever.

★★★★★ "A terrifying read - fans of KING and KOONTZ will love this." - Bestselling author Dave Roberts

★★★★★ “One of the best storytellers I’ve worked with” – Patrick Bergin, Sleeping with the Enemy, Patriot Games

"I've worked with Warren previously on The Bromley Boys movie, and we are very excited to be have optioned Baby Blue to take it the big screen. We are looking to invoke the creepiness of Rosemary's Baby, but in a modern horror / thriller setting." - Film Producer, TJ Herbert (Nephew of British horror legend James Herbert)

Not a good one. Scanned the last few chapters and that, my fellow readers, included the climax. Maybe if I was 16 it would have appealed to me. Did I miss this being Y/A? If so, my apologies!

4.0 out of 5 stars Twists and turns
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020
Baby Blue is a very-keep you guessing-type of tale. You know that something sinister is happening in Christy's life, but is it actually the Devil himself or is it too much alcohol or mental illness or something else? Ida, the local eccentric old lady, befriends Christy and begins to tell Christy about the local history involving suicides, Salem witch trials and baby stealing demons. Christy herself had lost her baby to stillbirth....could it have been a victim of this demon?

There's so much to the story? A creepy priest, strange Ida, local lore, weird smells and visions....what is real? Will Christy ever really know?

Great twisty story.

Thoroughly enjoyed this unusual chilling novel that I couldn't seem to unravel. It had kept me guessing and the ending I never would have guessed and was quite surprised by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really well written, clever book

I am a fan of horror and bought this book as I was interested to check out a new author of the genre.
I am very pleased that I did. The book is easy to read and really well written.
I am usually a slow reader but finished this book really quickly as I kept on picking it up to see what would happen next. At the end of each chapter there was a real desire to read the next to see what would happen.
It is an easy book to read and follow and unlike some horror books is actually very believeable. It is set in the "real world" meaning that it you can believe in the characters and what is happening (and thus when the more "extreme" events happen they too are believeable).
A problem I have with some horror books is that they don't know how to end - they build up a story but the ending lets them down. Not here - the ending (without giving anything away!) is very well written and makes sense bringing the story together really nicely in a way that fits in with the rest of the story.
I could not recommend this book highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and creepy horror debut
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2020

Baby Blue is a really interesting horror novel that reminded me of early Ramsey Campbell. The premise and characters are intriguing and carry you through a creepy mystery to an ending that really took me by surprise. I loved how different the two main characters are from each other and having their disparate lives intersect in this story made for some great scenes. Casting the main character as a pop-star really puts a unique spin on the story because you get a sense that Christy's world is already so surreal and otherworldly that when strange things start to happen they blur into the general madness of her normal life. The characters are well written and there are some great dialogue exchanges. Well worth a read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled.......
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2021

.......by the front cover quote "Terrifying - fans of King and Koontz will love it". I am a HUGE fan of both these authors and this book compares in no way with either of them!
Warren Dudley may be an accomplished screenwriter but, as a novelist, leaves much to be desired. No depth whatsoever to any of the characters. Story seemed to move along in fits and starts. Very disjointed, no thrills and an unsatisfactory ending. Having said all that, it would make a decent movie. Maybe.
Do not bother with the book though. I'm surprised it got so many starred reviews. Also, this is more like a novella than a novel. Large type, approx: only 28 (at best) lines per page, and many pages with only a few lines of print.
My copy is off to the charity shop to probably be foisted onto a reader who believes the front cover quote!
Ah well.

As this was written by a local author, I was really intrigued to read it. Not my usual genre but I actually really enjoyed it. Very well written and full of tension and suspense. I felt empathy for the characters and was completely taken along with their stories. The descriptive writing really sets the scene and I found that I was holding my breath at times!
Really impressive debut novel - can’t wait for the next one! Very clever ending. Will be recommending to my book group!
