A perfect bedtime story for the disgusting blob in your life.” - The Times “All creatures grim and evil, under the tired sun, are settling down - and so must you, my horrible little one…” It’s time to go to bed, and whether you are a phantom, a vampire, a Dark Lord or a yeti, you still must brush your teeth, put on your pyjamas, and settle down with a cosy story.
