Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Spook's Revenge by Joseph Delaney, read by Thomas Judd.
‘He’s the seventh son of a seventh son. His name is Thomas J. Ward and he’s my gift to the County. When he’s old enough we’ll send you word. Train him well. He’ll be the best apprentice you’ve ever had and he’ll also be your last.’
These were the words of Tom's Mam to the county Spook some years ago. As Tom, the Spook and their allies prepare to battle with the Fiend on a huge scale, to finally enact their revenge, it now remains to be seen whether Mam's declaration will come true.
As gripping and gruesome as fans have come to expect . . . Delaney has a spellbinding gift
—— Suzi Feay, Financial TimesBrilliantly inventive, genuinely funny, outrageously disgusting and above all, properly scary, this tale is a completely new take on the idea of monsters under the bed . . . Will keep readers captivated from start to finish
—— Teach Primarythis spine-chilling adventure is the perfect ghostly read
—— Book Club , The Week JuniorBrilliant as ever
—— SpectatorAll the books in the series have been excellent, but in The Creeping Shadow, Stroud manages to pile mystery on top of suspense, leaving me with the feeling that a year is far, far, too long to wait for the concluding part of a series that instantly shot to the very top of my reading pile. This is young adult writing of the very highest quality.
—— Linda Wilson , Crime ReviewIf you’re in the market to have your pants scared off this Halloween, this atmospheric tale, finely balanced between horror and humour, will definitely do the trick . . . There are few writers whose work I look forward to more.
—— Imogen Russell Williams , Middle Grade Strikes BackPublication of a new Lockwood and Co. adventure must qualify as one of the literary events of the year. Jonathan Stroud not only writes like a dream, he creates some of the most inventive, most exciting storylines around.
—— Andrea Reece , LoveReadingI enjoyed it so much, I hope there will be yet another book soon to follow in this fabulously told series.
—— Amazed Earthling, with Guardian Children's BooksI love this series so much, the characters are funny . . . the ghosts are awesome.
—— An Awful Lot of Reading
