A new governess is hired to care for the two children, Flora and Miles, living at Bly. She takes up a friendship with Mrs. Grose who has been there much longer. Everything goes well with the governess and dear sweet Flora until her brother Miles comes home, expelled from school. The governess is puzzled by this, because when she lives and works with Miles he is the sweetest boy alive. Then one evening during her walk outside the governess sees a human form up in the abandoned tower. After telling Mrs. Grose the governess is convinced it is the ghost of a man who has lived in the house. When a second ghost shows, this time a woman, things get really out of hand and the children seem to know more about it and their involvement becomes apparent with every day the governess is with them.

A totally disturbing, but hilarious story about a group of children going trick-or-treating with Halloween.
The legend goes that what sort of candy you get at the first house predict what the loot will be for the rest of the night. And it so happens Finch and his buddies get apples from the old lady who lives at the first house. Not a good omen and the granny will pay for this!
Be amazed about the plan the terrible and terrifying bunch comes up with and have fun reading how it acts out.

This is the second volume of Max “Mutt” Mason’s adventures in the crazy world he lives in. In this volume it becomes more clear of what is happening to the earth in general and the city Los Allende in particular. It looks like dark matter is taking over the visible matter the world exists of, creating the most horrible creatures and viruses making the genuine human race as prisoners — read as valuable enzymes — the creatures need to stay alive.
The question now is, can “Mutt” take on this dark matter or will he be swallowed as well?
