@boxster14 Thank you! Hope they enjoy!

[Becky @boxster14]

It was our last session of #GameZero book club andy had ask for more books by the fabulous @edgechristopher. I brought a copy of his new book but when reading the blurb, look what they spotted on the bottom of the book! They can't wait to drive into this adventure now! 👀📚

[Kit Butler (Author) @TheMagsterChap]

Rode out of spooky season with these 2 crackers. 👻
Very different scares, but both terrific reading.
A ghostly, supernatural punch in the guts from @Hickesy, and a frantic chase from a sinister entity by @edgechristopher, have seen me right.
Nice one, lads! 👍

[Christopher Edge @edgechristopher]

@TheMagsterChap @Hickesy Hugest of thanks, Kit! So pleased to hear you enjoyed FEAR FILES: HIDE AND SEEK! (And if you felt able to leave a swift rating for the book with any online retailers, I'd really appreciate this as these can really help a book's discoverability. Thank you!)

[BookTrust @Booktrust]

There's nothing quite like a scary story on #Halloween 👻

But it turns out that horror fiction could have real benefits for young readers.

Here, Fear Files author @edgechristopher explains why 👇

https://t.co/ylFz3Leoym

[Christopher Edge @edgechristopher]

I don't know why exactly, but as Halloween approaches the Amazon sales ranking for ESCAPE ROOM: GAME ZERO is making me feel rather uneasy, so if you could help move the dial, I'd be most grateful! And ESCAPE ROOM and ESCAPE ROOM: GAME ZERO are both currently half price there btw.

[Christopher Edge @edgechristopher]

@achuka @WalkerBooksUK Thank you!
