We all need to be scared. It’s good for the soul.

 

Having spent five years writing straight thrillers for kids I was tempted to try another genre. I thought I owed it to the children to scare the living daylights out of them. My boys love horror, and my youngest is obsessed by zombies. They fascinate and terrify him at the same time. So I thought: why not a zombie book for kids?

 

It’s kids versus adults. It’s Jack and the Beanstalk, hobbits versus orcs, Perseus versus the Gorgons, the monkeys versus the Twits. What it isn’t is ‘The Famous Five Meet the Harmless Zombies’. The kids are in very real danger, the body count is high, and I hope I give a great many children sleepless nights.

 

When the real world is full of very frightening dangers, the safe terrors of a good horror movie are the best way of scaring your pants off without becoming terminally depressed. Maybe my story will take their minds off the real problems in their lives for a little while and fire their imaginations. What would it be like to have the run of London with no adults around? You could live where you wanted, go where you wanted, do what you wanted . . .

 

Just don’t get caught or you’ll be eaten.

She’s settled in at the House of Night finishing school and is coming to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her. She even has a boyfriend …or two. Best of all, Zoey finally feels she has found somewhere she belongs. Then the unthinkable happens. Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence points to the vampires at Zoey’s school. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s past life, she begins to realise that the very powers that made her so unique might also threaten those she loves. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes the House of Night. Zoey finds herself facing a betrayal that could break her heart and jeopardise the very fabric of her world.
