He takes children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith, and they slip away to an astonishing playground he calls Christmasland.

And then comes the day when Vic goes looking for trouble . . . and finds Charlie. That was a lifetime ago. Now, the only kid ever to escape Manx's unmitigated evil is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx is on the road again, and he won't slow down until he's taken his revenge. As a life-and-death battle builds?her magic pitted against his?Vic McQueen prepares to destroy Manx once and for all . . . Disturbing, mesmerizing, and full of twisting thrills, Hill's phantasmagoric, devilishly playful masterpiece is a terrifying high-octane ride.

Rezensionen
Hill's nightmarish, devilish protagonist is Charlie Manx - who uses his supernatural powers in his ghastly mission to kidnap and kill dozens of children... and to scare the living bejesus out of the readers... This book is well-written, extremely dark and awfully gruesome. Daily Mail
