From the limitless imaginations of Guy Bass and David Roberts comes this dark and deliciously entertaining collection of tales from the World Behind the World. Take a trip through the sideways door and let supernatural secrets come alive in these chilling tales of terror. But be warned - your world may never be the same again...

I have a question. What's the worst thing that could happen? Wait. Before you decide, let me tell you a story...

Take a trip through the sideways door and let supernatural secrets come alive in these chilling tales of terror! Meet the nightmare pig, a sinister swine with teeth on her mind. Witness the terrifying reality of swapping places with your reflection or visit the ravenous monster in the shed. And, if you dare, come face to fear-filled face with Doctor Panic, who's seen far too much of the world behind the sideways door. But be warned - your world may never be the same again...

A gloriously dark and original collection from the limitless imaginations of Guy Bass, award-winning author of STITCH HEAD and SCRAP, and David Roberts, Carnegie-shortlisted illustrator of THE DUNDERHEADS, SUFFRAGETTE and TINDER. For readers who like their stories on the unsettling side and fans of Chris Priestley, Jennifer Killick and the AVELINE JONES series.
