The Spook’s Revenge: Book 13 (Spooks) (32 page)

‘I have loved the Spook’s series for as long as I can remember, eagerly anticipating every new book and then reading them far too quickly but loving every second of them. I am turning 20 this year and these books will always be a favourite of mine, they helped me through a difficult time in my life and knowing I could always escape into them was a great comfort to me. Knowing that the last one is coming out soon makes me very sad, but excited at the same time. It will be the end of a fantastic series!’
Rebecca Rankin

‘As a northern exile with plenty of family buried all over Pendle’s churchyards I love the series because it reminds me of home and the places of my childhood. As a teacher I love the Spook’s books because I’ve been able to use them to get so many of my students into reading. If only the series didn’t have to end.’
Paul Hargreaves

‘I’ve grown up with these books and have loved them for years. I feel like when the series ends my childhood finally will with it. Thanks for the memories!’
Sam Ball

‘I love Spook’s because it takes a new perspective on horror, medieval and narrative books. I found it on the net and instantly loved it to the core. THANK YOU J.DELANEY!’
Ghayur Haider

‘My favourite series ever. I could hardly put them down. Day by day, page by page, the characters become real to me. I got to know them and followed their journeys like they’re my old friends.’

‘I LOVE THE SPOOKS BOOKS! They are by far the most amazing books I’ve ever read. I love all the different creatures and mythologies! I wish that the series would never end!’
Phoenix Steinfeldt

‘I am 20 years old and I have been following these books since I was 11. I have never missed a release date. The
Wardstone Chronicles
is a series I have always loved to escape to. Following Tom, Alice and the Spook will always be a very fond part of growing up for me. Having spent a lot of time in Lancaster the last couple of years I can see why they are set in that beautiful county. Great series and I really cannot wait to finish the series, if only to re-read them. Thanks for the memories.’
Stephanie Swann

‘I think the Spook’s series is the best I’ve ever read! The storyline is phenomenal and the characters have amazing personalities! I think this series has an excellent structure to it and it has beautiful cover art that makes me want to read it just by looking at it! These are amazing books!’
Steven Johns

‘The Spook’s book series is a very important series to me. Since I have ADD and dyslexia I never was a really good reader and reading was frustrating for me. I wanted to read books but it was too hard for me. I could never finish them and that made me sad. However when I started reading the first of the Spook’s books, it was completely different. I found myself stuck reading for hours and hours and I managed to finish the book in just a few days. I was shocked and very happy. I borrowed the second book and I read that also in just a few days. I never knew that I could read that fast and that much. The books are so amazingly written that you get completely sucked into the story and you don’t just read the story, you feel it. Not many writers have managed to get me this excited and involved in a book series. Thank you Joseph Delaney for making this life-changing tale. I am and will always be your diehard fan.’
Leo Lampinen

‘The Spook’s books are amazing and I guess I never thought they would end. Joseph Delaney has created a whole other world in his readers’ minds.
Tia Patricia Flanagan, 12

‘I first came across
The Spook’s Apprentice
in a small bookshop in Devon. It was tucked between other books, but the spine immediately caught my attention. Ever since I have been immersed in Joseph Delaney’s writing and the world of the Spook. Growing up with these books, alongside Tom Ward, has been exciting and spooky. It’s been a pleasure to read them. Now I’m ready to face anything from the Dark.’
Sam Whitehouse

‘As a 22-year-old, who has been reading these books since I was 13 or 14, they’ve been a huge part of my life, and whenever one of these books is released, I’m always incredibly excited, and finish it on the day I get it. Always a pleasure to read. Thank you Joe.’
Ryan Hoskin

‘I was walking down to the shop when I passed a bookstore and saw
The Spook’s Apprentice
I knew straight away I wanted that book. The Spook’s series even inspired me to write a short story.’
Taylor Collopy

‘The reason I love Spook’s is because I have been reading them since number 1 and I love the idea of the Spook and the job.’
Yeseen

‘When the Spook’s books end I don’t know what I will do. It has kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat and they have to be the best books I have ever read. I recommend them to everyone! Thank you Joseph Delaney for all of the books, I will be thoroughly sad when they end.’
Daniella Wilson

‘The way I discovered the Spook’s books was much the same as many other people. I was on holiday, browsing a book store, intrigued by the cover and decided to buy it. By the evening I had finished the book and enjoyed it so thoroughly that I went back to the store. It quickly became one of my favourite book series of all time.’
Toby Causon

‘The Spook’s series are a chilling read. They have great imagination put into them and are quite fascinating. The books are certainly not be read after dark as I found out the hard way!’
Darren McCahey

‘I like the Spook’s books because . . .

1. They make me believe in witches and boggarts and all that.

2. Joseph Delaney is a great writer and has inspired me to write about creatures of the dark.

3. I have just finished
Spook’s Stories: Witches
and found it the best one so far.

4. Joseph Delaney has a very wild imagination, wilder than mine even.’

Eric Murphy

‘I really love the Spook’s books when I start reading it I feel like I’m in the story with Tom, Alice and Bill Arkwright. I really wish I could meet Joseph Delaney and tell him that I’m his biggest fan and ask him what he will be doing next after he has finished book 13. I feel really sad that he has nearly finished the
Wardstone Chronicles
and wish they never stopped.’
Vicky Von-Hessler

‘I started reading this series when the first three books were published in Dutch here in the Netherlands and Flanders. I must say, the
Wardstone Chronicles
are unique! The series is really wonderful! Also, I am a happy person because I’m not very afraid, so I read the books after dark – ha ha.’
Tim Hoogstoel

‘The Spook’s books were originally introduced to me by my beautiful girlfriend, Hayley. Hayley has been a fan since childhood but we still like to share information on the series despite me being relatively new to the chronicles. The books have had a euphoric impact on me and have given me a more pleasant lease of life knowing we are guarded from those fearful witches . . . and much crueller and fouler things that the darkness is yet to unveil!’
Phil McCann

‘I’m 13 and I collect books on mythology and mythological creatures, and the book series not only contains accurate mythology but also a gripping story throughout the books. That’s why I love the series and I just can’t wait until the very last book to see what happens with the characters.’
Thomas (Anthony) Wootton
