The Clock Struck One by Helen Deakin


A new house. A new life. A whole new nightmare!

Life doesn't seem fair for Tamara, a typical teenage girl struggling with the the move to a new town away from her friends. But life is about to get a whole lot worse.

There’s something not quite right about this new house; this town. The voices she is hearing and the inimical nightmares seemingly induced by the house itself are starting to frighten Tamara worse than anything else has ever scared her before. It doesn’t help that she’s become a complete stranger to her own family, shunted and ignored by them.

Something bad is coming. Something horrifying and Tamara is powerless to stop it.

                                                       **********************

This may be a short story, but it has so many twists and turns. It starts out like a usual horror story and is dark, eerie, creepy and chills you to the bone. It has you thinking, wondering, trying to work it out and the twist at the end was not what I was expecting. Brilliant story telling. 

The language used by the author describes everything so perfectly, so thrillingly, so terrifyingly.

Thank You Helen for the chance to read this wonderful book, can't wait to read more of your work.
