When it attacks Pip's parents, the only way to save them is to find and destroy it. But no one knows who it is... Along with his new friend Fliss and her dog Splodge, Pip sets out to investigate, facing murderous ghouls, werewolf attacks and a dangerously mouldy cheese.

That summer, a city street becomes the stage for a gruesome suicide. Nine months later, two of the witnesses, Jack and Chris, find themselves experiencing nightmares so realistic they fear not only for their sanity, but for their lives.
