Book description
'How many times have you told me that the dark's getting stronger
in this town? What terrible force makes good men inflict such
atrocities or stand by and let them happen? . . . Aye, the Bane is
to blame, and the Bane must be stopped now.'
The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, have travelled to
Priestown to defeat 'the Bane', a powerful, evil creature that lurks
in the catacombs of the cathedral and is corrupting the County.
As Thomas and his master prepare to battle with the Bane, they soon
realize it isn't their only enemy in Priestown. The Quisitor has
arrived, searching the County for those who meddle with the dark -
witches, warlocks and spooks! Can Thomas and his master survive the
horror that follows . . .?
The series that inspired the forthcoming movie Seventh Son,
starring
Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes and Julianne Moore.
Joseph Delaney lives in the middle of Boggart territory and his
village has a boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest
under the step of a house near the church.
Most of the places in the Spook's books are based on real places in
Lancashire. And the inspiration behind the stories often comes from
local ghost stories and legends.
