October Moon by Michael Scott
Fifteen-year-old Rachel Stone and her family move into historic Seasonstown House. Then the terror begins - fires, intruders who leave no footprints, the frenzied destruction of the library. Who, or what, wants the Stones out . The police suspect terrorists, but is it something far more sinister? When Rachel tries to discover the truth she gets caught up in a wild and dangerous plot. At Hallowe’en, nightmare becomes reality, when the unimaginable horror of an ancient curse comes to claim the family of Seasonstown House - and all that stands in its way is Rachel and a green-eyed wolf.
'Scott's grasp of the macabre and his confident moving between reality and fantasy provide a suitably scary fiction for dark evenings' -- Robert Dunbar, The Irish Times
'A really good tale of terror ... Just don't read it too late at night.' -- The Sunday Tribune
'A compelling story of dread, Scott is a master of the naturally unfolding mystery, and the tension never lets up.' -- Orson Scott Card
