  • Zusatztext

    • A box is left on Marcuss doorstep in the rain. Fussy Aunt Hester has told Marcus not to open the front door underanycircumstances. But shes out and just this once cant hurt . . . can it?

      Except the parcel isnt embroidery supplies for Aunt Hester. Or fishing tackle for Uncle Frank. Whatever is in there, its alive. And its ANGRY.

      The thing in the box sends Marcuss life spinning horrifyingly out of control ­ controlling his mind and testing his will so that every moment is deadly. Can Marcus overcome the pull of the Gorgons gaze, and use her power for good? Because he received that box for a reason ­ but he must find out what it is, before the terrible, beautiful Medusa turns everyone he holds dear to stone . . . and then comes for him.

      Laced with myth, this modern story positively writhes with horror and suspense. A terrifying, unputdownable read for fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter.
