Alex’s mum was tired and over-worked. Holding down a full-time job, keeping the house clean and looking after the children – the youngest of which was still a handful with his ADHD as they tried to get the medication right – she just wanted a break. Even if it were only for an afternoon – so she sent Alex to the shopping mall, with his younger brother who was throwing a tantrum because he wanted to go to the toy store to spend his pocket money. She never once thought Alex would lose his younger brother in the crowds. And no one would have guessed how the day would have ended or just how many more children were missing.
Freaky, scary, brilliant. This is the first horror book I’ve read for a while (more accurately, it’s a ‘novella, but at this price you can’t quibble!) that really hit all the right buttons. It’s terrifying, properly, and downright creepy – top marks! I won’t say anything about what happens, because it’d spoil it, but it’s well worth a read, as are Mr. Shaw’s other books – top notch, all of them. Short reads for an afternoon, and cheap, too – well worth the price of admission, and more.Cheers!Craig Saunders, author of A Stranger’s Grave and Spiggot
A sleepless night! I started this book last night. I thought I’d take a quick look before bed…..I gave up on brief look idea fairly quickly and resigned myself to a tired next day.Great story with a build of tension right from the start. This Authors books are consistently very good.
