Product Description
When Reggie finds an old journal and reads about the Vours,
supernatural creatures who feast on fear and attack on the
eve of the winter solstice, she assumes they are just the
musings of some lunatic author. But soon, they become a
terrifying reality when she begins to suspect that her timid
younger brother might be one of their victims.
Risking her life and her sanity, Reggie enters a living
nightmare to save the people she loves. Can she devour own
her fears before they devour her?
Bone-chilling, terrifying, thrilling...what are you
waiting for?
About the Author
Simon Holt's writing career began with a horror fanzine in
high school, the publishing of which overheated the school's
photocopier. Undaunted by after-school detention, he's
continued writing ever since. Holt supported himself as a
hotel night clerk and a handbag salesman before becoming a
full-time novelist. A comic book collector and amateur
musician, he makes his home in Chicago.
