Synopsis

What is happening to the children in Wintermoor? Secret organisation The Night House exposes the bone-chilling truth in this terrifying thriller from master of sci-fi Dan Smith. Tara Fisher’s best friend Zoe is the first to see the lights over Wintermoor – and she’s never the same again. Soon more and more teenagers are affected and start behaving strangely, often appearing to be trapped in some kind of trance, while talking about being “chosen”. The adults dismiss what is happening as some kind of hoax or mass hysteria. But will they finally listen when the kids start to disappear …?

Quotes

"Get ready to have your spine well and truly tingled as award-winning author and master of creepy sci-fi, Dan Smith, returns with the second book of his super-charged Night House Files series … this fast-paced, bone-chilling adventure will hook in readers from the first page… and is best read in daylight hours!" – "Perfect for horror fans and offers styled cases for a new generation. Innovative, sophisticated and creepy as hell, will have readers gripped as they try to figure out the mysterious events of 1984 which forever changed the residents of Wintermoor…" — Check 'Em Out Books, blog "80’s nostalgia pulses through this eerie story. References to films, hairstyles, fashion and the good old Sony Walkman will charm adult readers and show teens a little bit of our childhood. Luke Brookes’s fantastic illustrations match this vibe and ramp up the fear. As autumn nights draw in, don’t read this too close to bedtime!" — Scope for Imagination, blog "This is an incredibly gripping read, made even more so as it feels like these events genuinely took place thanks to the use of newspaper articles, interview transcripts, diary excerpts and a reliable narrator … The illustrations are absolutely stunning and really capture both the fear and tragedy engendered in this case as well as the chilling horror visited upon Wintermoor by something … but I’ll let the reader find out the truth for themselves. Another unmissable and compelling case from The Night House Files." — Book Craic, blog "Spooky season is fast approaching once again and for those tricky tween readers, this new title from Dan Smith, author of the hugely popular middle grade Crooked Oak books, is guaranteed to set hearts racing and send shivers down their spines" – Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, blog
