Another belter of a book! An eerie mystery thriller that sucks you in, creeps you out and leaves you flinching at any movement in the shadows for days afterwards! -- James Haddell This edge-of-seat mystery is instantly engaging ... With short, punchy chapters and dynamic, black-and-white illustrations it is especially suitable for less-confident, older readers who enjoy creepy, adrenalin-fuelled stories. Not suitable for those of a delicate disposition, this nightmarish thriller will make your skin crawl -- BookTrust I've loved this whole series ... and The Horror of Dunwick Farm is another cracker -- Jennifer Killick
