Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Joseph Delaney is a retired English teacher. He has three children and nine grandchildren and is a wonderful public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events. His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step of a house near the church.

Most of the places in the Spook's books are based on real places in Lancashire. And the inspiration behind the stories often comes from local ghost stories and legends.

WARNING: NOT TO BE READ AFTER DARK

Aus dem Klappentext

'I stood there, terrified. My master was about to die.'

The Spook has always been a tower of strength, fighting the dark to protect the County - and beyond. But things are changing. His precious library of books has burned to ashes. Arch rival Bony Lizzie has escaped her bonds. And for the first time, Tom sees his master fail not once - but twice.

These are dark days, but the nights are darker. Haunted in his dreams, the Spook has a premonition of Lizzie becoming all-powerful - and now his fears seem to be coming true.

Meanwhile, Tom and Alice are held hostage to a blood jar - the result of a dark magic pact with the Fiend . . .

This is the stuff of nightmares. Will the Spook live to see the morning? Is his apprentice ready to face the dark alone?

The seventh chilling tale in the Wardstone Chronicles
