I love the writing. I love the vivid descriptions of Whitby. Without harping on and saying too much, Swindells captures that coast beautifully. The language used encapsulated the theme well, and the suspense building throughout was believable.

when she first got there her teachers were puting them in rooms.fliss got room 10 and besid her room there was a cupbored This is really cute little book, despite it being a "horror". A horror for children, of course. I wasn't wholly convinced by the dialogue, and I am sadly a bit too old to really care for the storyline, but it was utterly charming to be completely transported. Whitby is almost a second home to me and I was walking down every street and entering every single shop with these children on their little holiday. Europe: nouns, verbs, adjectives, subject/verb, capital letters and full stops, question marks and exclamation marksI thought this book was absolutely brilliant. One thing I never knew before I read it; Dracula lives in a hotel. Haha, who knew? Un horror gotico per ragazzi intrigante e coinvolgente, capace di catturare l'attenzione fin dalle primissime righe.
