Send to friendDead Man at the Door
Gary and his family move to the Isle of Wight, but they have more than some unfriendly islanders to deal with. Gary begins to have nightmares in which a mysterious stranger knocks ceaselessly at the garage door. His new friend. Ted behaves strangely and The Watchers on the cliffs complete the supernatural triangle. This is a tense and heady brew with an eerie denouement which readers of both sexes from Year 7 onwards will find difficult to put down.
