Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"like the Famous Five fused with HP Lovecraft [...] cosy and terrifying" (Suzi Feay Financial Times)

"Stroud's nerve-shredding ghouls, laconic hilarity and intelligent character development make him a must for fiction aficionados with an iron nerve" (Imogen Russell-Williams Guardian)

"this spine-chilling adventure is the perfect ghostly read" (Book Club The Week Junior)

"Brilliant as ever" (Spectator)

"All 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." (Linda Wilson Crime Review)
