The Bogey Man

One in a series of eight ‘Little Horrors’ books, The Bogey Man is a light-hearted tale about a brother and sister’s trip to a third-rate funfair. Taunted by some school friends for being frightened of the rides, Sam and Kim agree to go on the dilapidated Ghost Train which is far from horrific. However, on returning to the fair that night, the Ghost Train proves to be an altogether scarier experience with some strange happenings on the ride, with the model of the Bogey Man going missing. And what about the sinister attendant’s sudden disappearance?

Comically scary illustrations match the cartoon style story very well. Other books in the same series include The Swamp Man, The Sand Man and The Pumpkin Man. The author has created his own highly entertaining website which is well worth a visit: www.shoo-rayner.co.uk
