MEDIA REVIEWS
like the Famous Five fused with HP Lovecraft (...) cosy and terrifyingStroud's nerve-shredding ghouls,laconic hilarity and intelligent character development make him a must for fiction aficionados with an iron nervethis spine-chilling adventure is the perfect ghostly readBrilliant as everAll 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.
