Ann Halam

978-1858812946, RRP £3.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary

A horror story which succeeds in making the fantastic nastily plausible and tactile. Andrei and her family never seem to settle, they always seem to be on the run. Andrei doesn't understand why until she begins to investigate the deserted house, discovering the identity of her father and her own strangeness in the process. This is a genuinely spooky story where skilful writing conjures spectres out of shadows and rags and really worries at the edge of the normal.
