Darkside

Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2007

Your home's been attacked. Your dad's in an asylum. You're running for your life. And there's nowhere to hide. You've stumbled on the city's greatest secret: Darkside.

Incredibly dangerous and unimaginably exciting. Darkside is ruled by Jack the Ripper's children - a place where nightmares walk the streets. You think you're in trouble now, but your problems have just begun...

Imagine a place just beyond nightmare – a secret city where horrors haunt the streets. Take the wrong alley, turn the wrong corner, and you’ll find that place: Darkside. It’s wickedly dangerous and excitingly strange – and it could be the last place you ever see…

Set in a terrifying netherworld of creaking asylums, oil-lamps, dingy alleys and Jack the Ripper’s descendents, this chilling Gothic tale of monsters and mayhem will hold you mesmerised.
