You’ll find the things we fear because we hear them in the night . . . . . . are often not so scary when we see them in the light.
As night falls and strange whispers seem to follow your every step, the question lingers - what's out there in the dark?
Packed with suspense, this unputdownable story will keep young readers on the edge of their seats, eventually revealing that some things are more frightening in the darkness than they are in the light.
A modern classic in the spirit of Jon Klassen's The Skull and Oliver Jeffers' There's a Ghost in this House , suspense deepens with every page and the spine-tingling tale brims with eerie suspense and a powerful, reassuring message.
A must-have picture book for families who are looking for a thrilling tale this spooky season.
John Dougherty has been writing children’s books for over twenty years. His work ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, including the surreal Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series, and the hilariously zany There’s a Pig Up My Nose . His beautiful, poignant picture book The Hare-Shaped Hole has won multiple awards.
John was born in Larne, Northern Ireland. He studied psychology at university and then tried his hand at a number of jobs including YMCA hostel worker, factory machine operator, and unsuccessful singer-songwriter, before becoming a primary school teacher. John is a passionate advocate for both public libraries and the importance of reading for pleasure. He was one of the first Patrons of Reading in the UK.
