The dark missions of Edgar Brim / Shane Peacock - 339 pages ; 22 cm
Edgar Brim has suffered from nightly terrors since he was in his cradle, exposed to tales of horror by his novelist father. After the sudden death of his only parent, Brim is sent by his stern new guardian to a grim school in Scotland. There, his nightmares intensify and he is ridiculed for his fears. But years later, when sixteen-year old Edgar finds his father's journal, he becomes determined to confront his demons and his bullies. And soon the horrific death of a schoolmate triggers Brim's involvement with an eccentric society that believes monsters from famous works of literature are real. With the aid of a ragtag crew of friends, Brim sets about on a dark mission - one that begins in a cemetery on the bleak Scottish moors and ends in a spine-chilling climax on the stage of the Royal Lyceum Theatre in London. The first in a gripping new gothic trilogy from the award-winning author of the Boy Sherlock Holmes series, The Dark Missions of Edgar Brim is a terrifying journey into the darkest recesses of the human imagination. - Provided by the publisher
