A Grandfather tells his grandson, Geoff, about a horror story from long ago that, just like any scarey story, is said to be true. It is a story of creatures that feed on fear. Little does Geoff know how true it really is...

Extract:
Something tripped her. Her right foot got caught momentarily, flipping off her slipper. Her eyes opened wide and her hands came out to catch her fall. Her lulluby ceased. She landed on her hands and knees, scraping over old scabbs. She dreaded the process of getting to her feet because should couldn't do it with her eyes closed. They felt her hint of fear, she could tell. And in realising it, she herself acknowledged her fear. This was bad. Ghostly black fingers walked up her spine to her hairline. She kept still, frozen in fear. A bead of sweat formed on her brow and her head began to throb. The creature waited patiently for her to dream up something nasty, some horrific death for herself.
