Bored with trick-or-treating, three friends venture into the woods on Halloween night to hunt for the haunted McBride House in this spine-tingling horror story from Phil Hickes.
If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a nasty surprise …
Seeking creepy thrills instead of candy, Cody and his friends set out on Halloween to search for the ruins of the haunted McBride House in the woods near his home in Oregon.
The house has taken on a sinister legendary status after it burned down a hundred years ago with tragic consequences, and it’s said that the ghosts of the family who lived there return each year on the last day of October.
But when they find the house, the truth of what is happening on this eerie autumn night is more terrifying than the three teenagers could ever have imagined …
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
"Nobody does spooky stories better than Phil Hickes … I love it when horror stories for young readers aren’t afraid to be proper scary." — Dan Smith
