Quatrième de couverture
Warning: Not to be read after dark
'The Spook's trained many, but precious few completed their time,' Mam said, 'and those that did aren't a patch on him. They're flawed or weak or cowardly. They walk a twisted path taking money for accomplishing little. So there's only you left now, son. You're the last chance. The last hope. Someone has to do it. Someone has to stand against the dark. And you're the only one who can.'
Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son and had been apprenticed to the local Spook. The job is hard, the Spook is distant and many apprentices have failed before him. Somehow Thomas must learn how to exorcize ghosts, contain witches and bind boggarts. But when he is tricked into freeing Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the County, the horror begins . . .
Joseph Delaney lives in Lancashire with his wife, and has three children. His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a boggart called The Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step of a house near the church.
Believe it or not, the haunted house in The Spook's Apprentice is based on fact! As a child, Joseph lived in a similar house in Preston where he had a recurrent nightmare. In the dream he'd be sitting on a carpet in the front room whilst his mother was knitting. Then, everything would become cold and a shadow-thing would come up from the coal cellar, pick him up and carry him back towards the dark. What's even more spooky . . . his brothers had the same nightmare! The house has now been pulled down so he can never go back.
Revue de presse
"Teenage readers looking instead for total fantasy should hasten to Joseph Delaney's The Spook's Apprentice . . . This terrific novel is as black as David Wyatt's ingenious ink drawings that head each chapter" (Independent)
"An absorbing tale with scary scenarios and a great central relationship between Thomas and his master" (The Sunday Times)
"Wicked and fast-paced, the second instalment in this series is gripping for adults and children alike . . . Beautifully written" (The Good Book Guide)
"Readers seeking lots of up-close encounters with the unquiet dead and other creepy entities need look no further" (Kirkus Reviews)
"This thrilling and terrifying book should not be read after dark!" (Parents News)
