Other editions of book The Fear Man

A dreadful secret hangs over the deserted house on Roman Road. What is it that keeps drawing Andrei to it? Why is his mother so afraid of the place? And what is the unknown presence, not human, not a ghost that seems to be stalking the family: Andrei and his mother, his little sister (who believes she can do magic) and their baby brother? Andrei's mother has been constantly on the run from the father he's never met, for as long as he can remember: but now the nightmare is closing in, and it's time to turn and face the monster. Whatever that may cost. "A horror story which succeeds in making the fantastic nastily plausible and tactile . . This is a genuinely spooky story where skilful writing conjures spectres out of shadows and rags, and really worries at the edge of the normal."
