Thriller's Hottest New Writer
"What If This Is Really Going On?"
Hello, welcome to the official site of Dane Collingham, author of the stuff that’s probably going on, but you just don’t dare think about.
What if…
- The rich are eating the poor at lavish parties?
- The US Government are controlling entire populations through social media manipulation?
- The British Government are planning to wipe out entire communities, and have the population begging for it to happen?
My books make you feel uncomfortable and start thinking about things you’d rather not. But that’s where the real fun and excitement lies anyway, isn’t it?
Dive into dark worlds, with twisted plots and sinister characters at every turn…
I love to write gritty, gripping and sometimes gruesome stories that leave people thinking "I bet this kind of thing really goes on behind closed doors."
My writing has been influenced by writers like Stephen King, Sayaka Murata, Margaret Atwood, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, John Grisham and Bill Bryson. This helps give my writing a fresh style, with fast-paced, easy to read, hard to put down thrillers.

About Dane Collingham
I'm based in Nottinghamshire, where I live with my wife and our two boys. I love to write about stories based in reality but bordering on the edge of insanity.
Crime, conspiracies, corruption. I want you to put my books down thinking, 'that's crazy, but I bet things like that are really going on.'
When I'm not writing, I love playing cricket for our village cricket club, long-distance running around the Nottinghamshire countryside, and watching the US Office over and over.

The Butchers of Bulridge
Grace and Gary are seventeen, outsiders, and desperate to escape Bulridge, a grim little town in the south of England best known for its reeking dog food factory and stifling boredom.
But when the pair stumble into a nightmare hidden in plain sight, their lives take a deadly turn.
The deeper they dig, the darker it gets…
Kidnapping. Murder. Cannibalism.
And no one can be trusted, not even the people they thought they knew best.
Now it’s not about escape.
It’s about survival.
Edgy, atmospheric, and unflinching, The Butchers of Bulridge drags you into the shadows of a small town with big secrets, and it doesn’t let go until the very last page.
ChangeWorld
Robert and Ricky thought they’d made it.
Their app, ChangeWorld, had just sold for half a billion dollars to a mysterious buyer, thrusting them into a world of luxury and excess.
But their dream soon becomes a nightmare when they uncover the truth: ChangeWorld isn’t just a social platform, it’s a weapon.
Behind the glossy interface lurks a sinister plot involving political manipulation, mass control, and the rigging of the next U.S. election.
Determined to stop it, the duo find themselves up against forces with limitless money, power, and reach. The stakes? Not just their lives, the future of the United States.
Can two ordinary men outwit an extraordinary conspiracy, or will they be silenced before the truth gets out?
ChangeWorld is a taut, high-stakes thriller that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
