Day Five: The fat man by Maurice Gee (1994).
Based on near where I grew up.
One of my best memories as a school librarian. When this was released - and shortlisted for a children's book award (not young adult) we were told to pass on subject warnings to kids. So I asked my first reader what he thought. 'It scared me shitless, Miss, but it was brilliant'.
My sister reads horror - and this is one of the most chilling, terrifying things she has read.
