This is his tenth Scream Street adventure. He lives in Lancashire with his family.

"Lightning-paced, bloodcurdling fun. I wish I'd been able to visit Scream Street as a kid!" Darren Shan "Exactly the sort of grisly, gross and hilarious stuff that kids will love!" Eoin Colfer "Like Harry Potter with extra bite, Scream Street is fast moving and scary - but it has a big heart (which it keeps in a gold casket in the fridge, of course!)." Philip Reeve
