He was lying there in the darkness behind the tea chests, in the dust and dirt. It was as if he'd been there forever. He was filthy and pale and dried out and I thought he was dead. I couldn't have been more wrong. I'd soon begin to see the truth about him. That there'd never been another creature like him in the world.
Michael was looking forward to moving house. It was all going to be wonderful. But now his baby sister's ill, his parents are frantic and Doctor Death has come to call. Michael feels helpless.
Then he steps into the crumbling garage . . .
What is this thing beneath the spiders' webs and dead flies? A human being or a strange kind of beast never seen before? The only person Michael can confide in is Mina. Together they carry the creature out into the light and Michael's world changes forever. . .
