The Ragchild
Steve Lockley, Paul Lewis
Losing their father was the worst thing that could happen to James and Robert Lane. Or so they thought. When their mother takes them to live in isolated Bethesda they find their problems are only just beginning. Terror has gripped the village. Two children have vanished, others will soon follow. Police patrol Bethesda's snow-bound streets, searching for the abductor. James and Robert discover that the answer lies deep in the woods that surround the village, in the old slate quarry abandoned for the winter. But something ancient and evil has seen them. And now it wants them, too.
