But night after night, out there in the moonlight, Something is trying to get in at the bedroom window. A huge malevolent Something. Something not of this world. Is Toby hallucinating? Or is Something real and evil striving to reach him.  As one reviewer says, this is 'a masterclass in how to write suspense'.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155415417072,"sku":"9781448216543","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448216543_p0.jpg?v=1763827628","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448216543","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
