The horror story your students have been asking you for! The only children's story by the master of horror. Mr Hood's Holiday House has stood for a thousand years, welcoming countless children into its embrace.

It is only when the House shows its darker face – when Harvey discovers the pitiful creatures that dwell in its shadow – that he comes to doubt Mr Hood's philanthropy. The house and its mysterious architect are not about to release their captive without a battle, however. Mr Hood has ambitions for his new guest, for Harvey's soul burns brighter than any soul he has encountered for a thousand years...
