What is it about the human psyche that demands we should deliberately set about scaring ourselves silly? Rob Lewis explores this phenomenon when his hero, Rat, refuses an invitation from Mouse and determinedly reads frightening stories alone in the the house on a stormy night. The build-up, as his imagination creates monsters out of a branch tapping at the window and other similar noises, brings him to a state of terror when he hears banging at the front door! A spine-tingling thriller for the very young with a twist at the end to leave them wondering!
