Mallory Vayle and Maggoty Skull in... The Beast from Beneath features Mallory Vayle and her talkative skull, Maggoty, as they star in another fabulous adventure!

Mallory is getting to grips with her new powers and her new talkative friend, Maggoty. But when Maggoty sees a wig in Les Wigs shop, he just won't stop talking about it! It's expensive, and no one seems able to pay Mallory properly for her cosmic services.

So her Aunt Lilith takes matters into her own hands, but in her quest to enhance her supernatural skills, she accidentally summons a Nightmare. It inevitably goes horribly wrong, and Mallory must embark on a perilous journey into the bowels of Carrion Castle to find a solution to Aunt Lillith's problem. But it's only when a bony fellow with a scythe turns upβ€”Death himself, by the wayβ€”that she knows she and Maggoty are in for some terrifying fun and games!

With proper laughs and proper scares, this series is not only the perfect Halloween treat but a side-splitting and spine-tingling year-round read.

About the Author

Martin Howard (Author)
Martin Howard writes absurdly funny books for children. His last was a Sunday Times Book of the Week and he has been compared to Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and the Monty Pythons. Mallory Vayle and the Curse of Maggoty Skull is his favourite so far.
