The second book in Jennifer Killick's comedy horror quartet for readers aged 9+ is a genuinely creepy read with some sharp lines and good twists. It helps if you have read DREAD WOOD as there are a number of callbacks to it (although I could follow the plot without having done so). I believed in the kids‘ omerta about Flinch, while the parasites are suitably disgusting and the Latchitts menacing such that I‘d definitely read more in this series.
