At the stroke of midnight, as a huge bronzebell tolls the hours, something stirs in the dark and narrow recess. A hand. A skeletal hand with a monstrous awareness of a long ago tragedy...

For Tom, newly arrived at Styles Grange Boarding School, it means that the pain of seperation from his parents is overshadowed by something much worse. Fear. For on his very first night, he is awoken by the feeling of something stroking his face...

A fun, creepy book for young adults.
