    About this ebook

    All kids have a folklore about their neighbourhood, whether it's an old woman who's really a witch or, in this case, a derelict house that's haunted. Two boys decide to watch an eclipse at the dead of night. -0-

    The world is full of wonder and meaning yet, today, to understand it we seem to have to choose between science and superstition. I prefer the daydeaming, storytelling way.

    Richard Kerr

    Richard Kerr was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the end of 60s when the conflict began. He left for London 25 years later just in time for peace to break out. Despite this the 70s were a happy time and childhood was a place where everything was possible and school holidays were never long enough.
