Welcome to the Horror Club; a world of werewolves and poltergeists,pyschpaths and
shape changers,the unquiet and the living dead. . . . A fantasy world,of course,for Richard,Robin and Nigel,the club's members,are ordinary boys from ordinary families,who just happen to share a taste for the macabre in films and videos,books and comics.And then they admit a fourth member to their club - Toady,a far from ordinary boy with a taste for the macabre in real life.From the moment he lures the others into a nerve-jangling seance in a house with a chilling reputation,their lives are blighted by worse horror than they have ever imagined.
In a fusion of nightmare and reality,
terror stalks the familiar streets of a sleepy seaside town and waits to invade the safest home.The pervasive stain of evil spreads like ripples on a pond,
leaving a trail of sacrilege and death in its wake.One by one the members of the Horror Club are overcome and forced into a netherworld,halfway between illusion and
reality.It is up to the final member to fight alone against the evil they have unleashed - until,in the final battle,he is joined by an unexpected ally.
'Toady' is a staggering achievement from a young first novelist.Mark Morris takes all the established horror conventions and
reworks them in a way that is completely fresh and inimitably his own.Not since Clive Barker has there been such a mesmerising debut.
