Synopsis:
When writer John Newton receives a mysterious note containing the bizarre request that he should leave a bar of chocolate on one of the gravestones in the local churchyard, he doesn't take much notice. But, as he is about to discover, the consequences of not complying with the anonymous demand can be truly appalling. A newcomer to the picturesque Yorkshire village of Skelbrooke, John comes to realize that its inhabitants harbour a terrifying secret. And as the demands escalate in intensity, so John must face his worst nightmare come true. With this, his eighth nerve-shattering novel of supernatural suspense, Simon Clark triumphantly confirms his reputation as "one of the most exciting British horror writers around."
