Description

'A true ghost story - the kind that lays its cold fingers on you, grips tight and doesn't let go even when the last page has been turned - Wonderfully spine-chilling.' The Bookseller

'You shouldn't really read this before you go to sleep.' The Independent on Sunday

'Such is McNish's skill that when you read of the young hero Jack's asthma attacks, you'll find your own breathing feels constricted. He evokes the same empathy when dealing with the ghosts who haunt Jack, taking us into the realms of inventiveness that are his trademark. Breathtaking.' The Guardian

They can't breathe, but in Jack's house they CHASE, HIDE, SCREAM.

Only Jack can see them. Only he can hear them.

And only he can learn their secrets in time to save himself... and his mother...
