Book description
It was just a bit of fun, a local legend. The Devil's Footsteps:
thirteen stepping stones, and whichever one you stopped on in the
rhyme could predict how you would die. A harmless game for kids - and
nobody ever died from a game.
But it's not a game to Bryan. He's seen the Dark Man, because the
Dark Man took his brother five years ago. He's tried to tell himself
that it was his imagination, that the Devil's Footsteps are just
stones and the Dark Man didn't take Adam. But Adam's still gone.
And then Bryan meets two other boys who have their own unsolved
mysteries. Someone or something is after the children in the town. And
it all comes back to the rhyme that every local child knows by heart:
Thirteen steps to the Dark Man's door, Won't be turning back no
more . . .
E. E Richardson is twenty-two year old cybernetics graduate who now
lives as a recluse.
