Product Description
Book Description
An exciting first horror novel by a 20 year-old!
Product Description
It was just a bit of fun, a local legend. The Devil's Footsteps: thirteen stepping stones, and whichever one you stopped on in the rhyme could predict how you would die. A harmless game for kids - and nobody ever died from a game.
But it's not a game to Bryan. He's seen the Dark Man, because the Dark Man took his brother five years ago. He's tried to tell himself that it was his imagination, that the Devil's Footsteps are just stones and the Dark Man didn't take Adam. But Adam's still gone.
And then Bryan meets two other boys who have their own unsolved mysteries. Someone or something is after the children in the town. And it all comes back to the rhyme that every local child knows by heart: Thirteen steps to the Dark Man's door, Won't be turning back no more . . .

One in fire, two in blood, three in storm anf four in flood, five in anger, six in hate, seven fear and evil eight, nine in sorrow, ten in pain, elleven death, twelve life again, thirteen steps to the dark man's door, Won't be turning back no more!
It's a harmless childrens skipping rime. No one's ever died because of a rime, have they?
Bryan knows someone who has. Bryan saw it happening. Bryan was there. In the woods. By the stepping stones. In the clearing. With Adam. But there isn't any Adam any more. And there's never going to be. He was taken by the dark man. That's it. Full storp. No turning back at the thirteenth step!
Bryan has been living in ignorance for the last five years. Five years of silence, five long years of parents who've cried to much about their first son to care about what happens to there second. And every night there are nightmares.
But one day, Bryan meats another boy. A boy who's broken the whole broundry of silence around the village, the dark man's village, Redford. A boy who speaks of the silence, and want's to stop it. A boy named Smokey.
And on a trip to the library, another boy. A boy who's best friend was taken away from him one year ago. A boy who also want's to break the silence. A boy who has been investigating the disappearences of children since Lucy dissappeared. A boy named Jake.
The dark man watches over three places. An old house, said to be haunted by a gohst, an old patch of land round behind he station, and the woods. No one ever forgets the woods.
The three boys are on a mission. But who's to say they'll suuced. After all, a man who has the power to control your imagination has far more experience than three boys who fall into the wrong hands. Three boys with pasts, presents...and possibly futures!
(This book is really scary and I got so freaked out my head was under the covers even when I was reading it in a well lit room next to my cats and mum. I would rekamend that if going to be read by child, have parent read it instead!)

This book was absolutely incredible!I was drawn to it instantly and I don't regret purchasing it one tiny bit!
The Devil's Footsteps is fast paced and full of mystery, horror and breath taking moments. I couldn't put it down, even whilst eating a delicious roast dinner!
As a passionate science fiction/ fantasy reader, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who's not afraid to let their nightmares take shape in reality!

First off, the positives. This is an excellent book, it really is. The writer can stir up a feeling of impending dread and it is, to repeat an overused cliche, a proper page-turner.
However, if you've ever seen A Nightmare On Elm Street, you will probably have a good idea how this one pans out. And although the ending of this book is much better than the slightly damb squib ending of the first legendary Elm Street, I was still left with the uncomfortable feeling of clocking the ending with two thirds of the book still to go.
But please don't let that put you off. This is a very well-written book and I'm looking forward to EE Richardson's next novel.

Chilling horror for a younger audience
It's just a game, isn't it. Like one of those skipping rhymes, chants for little kids. A rhyme that predicts how you'll die. But anyway. It's just a rhyme. But not for Bryan. Read more

Hmm . . . nothing special, but it's OK.
I had high expectations for this book. But, as with most books these days, I quickly realised what I'd imagined the story to be was much better than it actually was. Read more
