About the Book

It's a difficult time for fifteen-year-old Savannah Grey - she's settled into her latest foster placement, but her body is acting strangely. Then other strange things begin to happen: nature, it seems, is exerting an overpowering force on the world. Birds behave erratically. Gusts of wind blow leaves so fiercely they seem to lure people away. And Savannah discovers she has supernatural powers. Meanwhile, she feels drawn to the new boy Reece whose life is even stranger than hers. Quickly Savannah and Reece realise that nature has a purpose for them both. For they are on course to meet the vile and evil Ocrassa, who wants to destroy the world by corrupting nature. And it wants Savannah Grey to help realise its savage intent.

About the Author :
When Cliff McNish was born, the electricity in his house failed, plunging him in darkness. Perhaps this explains why his first published book began as a story about a really nasty witch for his young daughter, Rachel. THE DOOMSPELL and its sequels became instant bestsellers, with rights sold in 17 languages. Since then, Cliff's multiple-award winning dark fantasies for older readers, BREATHE and ANGEL, have continued to win him avid fans. Cliff is a popular visitor in schools and at festivals. He lives with his wife in south-east London in a house that is very dark and very old.

Review :
Inventive and menacing ... the novel's strengths are its clear, unclich?d prose and its power to evoke creepy events without descending into a mere gorefest. It offers a forceful frisson and yet, unlike some books in this genre, it is possible to finish reading it without feeling sullied. - THE SUNDAY TIMES - Nicolette Jones It's remarkably good ... What's more, the intelligent, tortured Nyktomorph and its child, the ugly, ballet-dancing Horror, are two of the best villain's henchthings in any recent fantasy ... This is head and shoulders above most other teenage fantasies. - SFX This is the strangest eco-warrior story I have ever read and also the most poignant. Savannah Grey is good, solid writing, with characters that sizzle and baddies that pray for a hero to come along and save the day ... - SFRevu - Liz de Jager It's beautifully written; rhythmic, lyrical ... the prose resonates, blending with its themes to stunning effect. And it's genuinely creepy too ... I made the final page after an evening's breathless reading, and put down the book with a real sense of regret that it was all over. - THE BOOKBAG Cliff McNish has a poetic lilt and literary charm not always seen in the horror genre. Once started, it's a difficult book to put down. - CAROUSEL An excellent horror story ... The Ocrassa is an alien which ranks with any of H. P. Lovecraft's monsters. - SCHOOL LIBRARIAN A horror/sci-fi/romance that even the most reluctant reader will be hard pressed to ignore ... it works incredibly well ... it's like opening the door to a breath of fresh air. - WONDROUS READS This is a highly original take on a good versus evil horror story, with a touch of romance. The heroine of the story, Savannah, is a brave and intelligent girl with a mind of her own, but the creepy and brilliantly drawn Horror and Nyktomorph are the monstrous stars of this book. - WRITE AWAY
