A thrilling supernatural adventure: dark, funny, with twists at
every turn. Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Prize 2016.
When Luke Manchett's estranged father dies suddenly, he leaves his
son a dark inheritance. Luke has been left in charge of his
father's ghost collection: eight restless spirits. They want
revenge for their long enslavement, and in the absence of the
father, they're more than happy to take his son. It isn't fair, but
you try and reason with the vengeful dead. Halloween, the night
when the ghosts reach the height of their power, is fast
approaching. With the help of school witchlet Elza Moss, and his
cowardly dog Ham, Luke has just thirteen days to uncover the
closely guarded secrets of black magic, and send the unquiet
spirits to their eternal rest. The alternative doesn't bear
thinking about.
An atmospheric, chilling page turner from rising star Martin Stewart, reminiscent of Stand by Me and Stranger Things.
Sep, Arkle, Mack, Lamb and Hadley: five friends thrown together one hot, sultry summer. When they discover an ancient stone box hidden in the forest, they decide to each make a sacrifice: something special to them, committed to the box for ever. And they make a pact: they will never return to the box at night; they'll never visit it alone; and they'll never take back their offerings.
Four years later, the gang have drifted apart. Then a series of strange and terrifying events take place, and Sep and his friends understand that one of them has broken the pact.
As their sacrifices haunt them with increased violence and hunger, they realise that they are not the first children to have found the box in their town's history. And ultimately, the box may want the greatest sacrifice of all: one of them.
Jesse is on a school trip in New York when his subway carriage is
rocked by an explosion. When he and three friends crawl out of the
wreckage they discover a city in chaos. Streets are deserted.
Buildings are in ruins. And the only other survivors are infected
with a virus that turns them into horrifying predators. . .
