Description

You know that house near you, the one at the end of the road? The one that looks a bit scary. It’s an old house, set back from the road. It’s thin and tall, with tall and thin windows. In the middle is a crooked green front door, paint peeling everywhere. The mortar is crumbling from between the brickwork, and the whole house smells of damp and decay. Well, it used to.

In the months since the Bannerworth children first met Sir Francis Varney, the vampyr (rhymes with adhere – just for old times’ sake) who lived at the end of the road, they had helped him make a few changes.

It was the summer holidays, and under the apparent direction of Mr. March (although in reality George was actually in charge) they had made some improvements. The house had electricity, it had been painted, and most importantly, had wi-fi!

Even the green door had been sanded and re-painted a slightly different shade of green. The old piano behind it had been dusted and tuned, and was often now playing.

At the house, Henry and Maximus played games in the garden; Flora had a new best friend, a green squirrel called Chili; and George was getting close to finally beating Sir Francis at chess. Everything was perfect
BUT……at a nearby airport, a plane was landing.

SOMETHING WICKED
THIS WAY COMES!
