They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you . . .

The Sacrifice (Book 4)

Small Sam and his unlikely ally, The Kid, have survived. They're safe with Ed and his friends at the Tower of London, but Sam is desperate to find his sister.

Their search for Ella means Sam and The Kid must cross the forbidden zone. And what awaits them there is more terrifying than any of the horror they've suffered so far . . .

The Fallen (Book 5)

The Holloway crew are survivors. They've fought their way across London and made it to the Natural History Museum alive - just. But the fight will never end while the Enemy lives . . .

The kids at the museum are looking for a cure. All they need are medical supplies. To get them means a journey down unknown roads. Suddenly it's not so clear who - or what - they're fighting.

The Hunted (Book 6)

The others had promised that the countryside would be safer than the city. They were wrong. Now Ella's all-alone except for her silent rescuer, Scarface - and she's not even sure if he's a kid or a grown-up.

Back in London, Ed's determined to find her. But getting out of town's never been more dangerous- because coming in the other direction is every SICKO in the country.

Reviews

Delaney's mastery of suspense will grip even reluctant readers with his dramatic, beautifully paced prose.

—— Amanda Craig , The Times

. . . ideal for the reader who has outgrown Harry Potter. Be warned, these books are seriously scary . . . Beautifully produced and consistently surprising the weird and wonderful Wardstone Chronicles are an annual treat.

—— Amanda Craig, The Times

Wonderfully dark

—— The Bookseller

Another breathless thriller from the genius of magic and mayhem!

—— Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post

Fans of Joseph Delaney's fantastic Wardstone Chronicles will need no urging to buy the latest instalment... Gripping, moving and terrifying for anyone of 10+.

—— Amanda Craig, The Times

No one does terror, and compassion, so well

—— Amanda Craig , The Times

Joseph Delaney's The Wardstone Chronicles are a series of books that have maintained the very highest standard for nearly a decade. The Spook's Nightmare is another excellent addition to the series. Highly recommended.

—— Fantasy Book Review

The Spook's Mistake is as good as, if not better than the previous four books in the Wardstone Chronicles series. Those who may have been concerned that the quality of the series may begin to wane needn't have feared as it continues to go from strength to strength. 9 out of 10 stars.

—— Fantasy Book Review

an outstandingly imaginative, well written thriller

—— Amanda Craig , The Times

Delaney has a talent for creating the most dark and eerie settings and situations, in which the reader becomes totally immersed

—— Sarah Merrett , School Librarian

fast-paced and suspenseful: plenty of plot twists and character nuances engage the reader throughout (NB: US review, book listed as The Last Apprentice; Attack of the Fiend, pub. HarperCollins)

—— Dr Leslie Farmer , Kliatt
