Publisher: Mauve Square Publishing
Zach Applewood is having a good year at school, with his teacher, Mr. Wolfe, following a terrible time with his previous teacher, the horrible Mrs. Swann.
Events begin to take a sinister turn upon the arrival at his school of a strikingly unusual girl, with a distinct air of mystery about her –Emma Vallance. A school visit to the caves of Wookey Hole soon turns into nightmare, as strange creatures
appear and attempts are made to kill Zach; or, even worse…
Zach realises that there is far more to know than meets the eye with Emma Vallance, and the teachers in charge of the visit.
Zach encounters species that feed upon the living, without the living even being aware of it: these are the shadows in the corner of the bedroom at night, the sound beneath the bed, the stranger lurking around the corner… the Unseen.
Assisted by the Institute, an organisation with Zach’s own interests very much at heart, he finds himself thrown into a showdown in a disused under-sea mine; a showdown that will test the limits of his new-found power, and unlock the mystery to the recurrent nightmare that has haunted him since before he could remember.
Praise for Demons in the Dark:
It's not often that a book leaves me out of breath, but this one starts fast and then accelerates to warp speed. It's quite dark in places, in fact, quite gruesome but that all adds to the scary fun…
(Simon Leighton-Porter – author of 7 Stars)
John Clewarth's amazing imagination and talent with words grips and enthrals the reader.
(Oliver Eade – award-winning author of Moon Rabbit)
Demons in the Dark is deep and creepy and will draw its young reader into a world of scares and frights with just enough tension to get them wondering, but not too much to turn their hair white, well not completely white…(Annaliese Matheron, author of the popular Ninja Nan series and Wolfore)

Firestorm Rising by John Clewarth
Raingate Cemetery has long been the spooky playground of Tom Allerton, Daniel ‘Doc’ Studd and Jasmine ‘Jazz’ Baxter, and provides a great opportunity for them to play a practical Halloween joke on their schoolmates.
Events take an unexpected turn when a freak storm occurs and lightning strikes an ancient and crumbling tomb. The children flee in terror, all except for Jazz who decides to investigate. Peering into the smoking rubble of the sepulchre, she is strangely drawn towards a weird pendant which unleashes a chain of terrifying and supernatural events. As the unearthly owner of the pendant endeavours to get it back, the friendship of the central characters is put to the toughest test, and they discover the true meanings of friendship, loyalty, truthfulness and fear.
The children learn that there are far more things in the universe than they ever learned at school, as a terrifying monster is awakened from a long hot sleep...
What they're saying about Firestorm Rising:
"A gripping and imaginative adventure!" Peter J Murray, author of the fabulous Mokee Joe series, Bonebreaker series, and Scabbajack.
"A brilliant story that keeps its grip on the reader, from the very first word. This tale is both exciting and creepy - in a good way; spooky and a totally must read! Do NOT read this whilst you're home alone! Firestorm Rising will make your hair stand up and a cold sweat run down your spine. I absolutely loved it!" Jennifer Loiske, author of 'Imminence' and the hair-raising Shape Shifter series.
"A deliciously terrifying tale. Prepare for a thrill ride that will leave you white-knuckled, breathless and more than a little scared. John Clewarth has a strong voice that weaves a tremendous tale of friendship, mystery and things that go bump in the night. Kids will love it!" Annaliese Matheron, author of the acclaimed 'Ninja Nan' series.
"A truly gripping story which will have you on the edge of your seat, as soon as you've picked the amazing, rare book up!" (William, aged 11)
"Atmospheric from the start, Firestorm Rising will captivate young readers and chill their imaginations, in an awesome tale of three children's struggle against an unearthly force. And just when you think it's all over and the darkness destroyed... well, they're just has to be a sequel somewhere out there!" Oliver Eade, author of 'Moon Rabbit', a winner of the Writers' and Artists' Year Book 2007 New Novel Competition.
"A story with a blend of aliens, monsters and kids, that will keep you reading until the very last page!" Marie Godley, author of 'Guardian of the Globe', 'Time Slide' and the forthcoming teen novel, 'Janalya'.
