. . . ideal for the reader who has outgrown Harry Potter. Be warned, these books are seriously scary . . . Beautifully produced and consistently surprising the weird and wonderful Wardstone Chronicles are an annual treat.
Amanda Craig, The Times
Another breathless thriller from the genius of magic and mayhem!
Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post
Beautifully crafted, genuinely creepy and ludicrously enjoyable, it hooked me: I have since rushed through the entire series so far.
Time Out
Christmas traditions have long included the telling of grisly tales and THE SPOOK'S BESTIARY by Joseph Delaney fits the bill. Adding value and context to the popular series, the illustrations and design of this book are stunning. It is a brooding and eerie collection of stories for reading in one sitting or dipping into.
Jake Hope, Bookseller 2010 Booksellers' Choice
Delaney's latest instalment takes us on a breakneck speed, suspense- packed adventure, introducing a motley collection of hair-raising new enemies and some fascinating interplay on the fight between good and evil. Ideal reading for the witching hours...
Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post
Delaney's mastery of suspense will grip even reluctant readers with his dramatic, beautifully paced prose... Unlike the vampires and so forth, both these novels carry a genuine graveyard chill. Huge fun, and deliciously shivery.
The Times
Fabulously dark, this series is an annual summer treat for 10+.
Amanda Craig, The Times
Fans of Joseph Delaney's fantastic Wardstone Chronicles will need no urging to buy the latest instalment... Gripping, moving and terrifying for anyone of 10+.
Amanda Craig, The Times
It's a really enjoyable and exhilarating read...Five out of five stars.
