was a busy night. Criss-crossed all over town. Rian Skinner, a dead adder.

      Twin sisters Jessie and Nell Godwin, a giant scab. Origin unknown. Might not have been human.

      “I don’t understand,” said Alfie.

      “And last night it got me. My tooth fell out, well, after I waggled it for weeks, so I put it under my pillow as I always do. What do you think I woke up to find?”

      “I, er, um, don’t know.”

      “A bat’s wing!”

      “No!”

      The boy couldn’t help but shudder. “That’s disgusting!”

      “Whatever’s happening, this is just the beginning…”

      “Who is doing this?” asked Alfie.
