Shadowghast - An Eerie-on-Sea Mystery (Paperback)
Thomas Taylor (author)Published: 02/09/2021
In the third spine-tingling Eerie-on-Sea mystery, shady magic and gloomy ancient legends loom large once more as Herbie Lemon and Violet Parma have to deal with the threat that the Shadowghast—an ancient spirit in a lantern – is now posing to the town.
A creepy magician with a shadowy act. A legend that goes back to the dawn of time. Eerie-on-Sea just got stranger. And darker...
A mysterious stage magician has set up in the theatre at the end of the pier, with an act so hypnotic and strange that Herbie Lemon and his friend Violet Parma suspect dark forces are at work. Meanwhile, folk are disappearing from Eerie-on-Sea, and no one knows why. There is an Eerie legend that goes back to the dawn of time, about a creature made of darkness that devours the shadows of the living. But could the Shadowghast really have returned?

MEDIA REVIEWS
Taylor's magical touch makes you believe the impossible. - Catherine Doyle
I think it was well-written and I think that fans of the previous books will really enjoy it. - Books Up North
This was the best book ever. It is the 3rd in the series and is absolutely fantastic book. - Reader (Age 12), Toppsta
This is a really good mystery book. It has a lot of action, adventure and lots of twists and turns to the plot. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. - Reader (Age 11), Toppsta
This is the best book I have read in forever! In the style of the main character, Herbert Lemon, two words that go together to describe this book are magnificent and magical. Now that I have visited Eerie-on-Sea, I really wish I could stay longer and go on more amazing adventures with Herbie, Violet and Erwin. This book is worth a milky way of stars-I'm sorry I could only award it five! - Reader (Age 12), Toppsta
