Book description
Ever since a certain Christmas Eve many years ago, Ebenezer Scrooge
has become known all over London as the happiest, kindest and most
generous of all men, always ready with a smile and a cheerful remark
for his fellow beings, especially at the most festive time of year.
But this Christmas Eve there is a blasphemous threat abroad in the
city: corpses are rising from their graves and attacking people,
spreading a deadly disease. As he, Bob Cratchit and their companions
fight their way through the fogbound streets, their footsteps silenced
by the blood-spattered snow, he realises that if they are going to
survive he will have to bury his nice and gentlemanly self, and learn
how to be a black-hearted, mean-spirited scoundrel once more.
Bruno Vincent's humour books (several co-authored with Jon
Butler) have sold more than a quarter of a million copies, twice
appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller lists, and been translated
into nine languages (including American). He is also the author of a
volume of horror stories for children set in a dark and twisted
Dickensian world, Grisly Tales from Tumblewater, and its forthcoming
sequel, School for Villians.
