When an overnight camping trip in the woods on Halloween night goes wrong, and a girl ends up dead with what looks like animal wounds, the whole neighbourhood is shocked.

How did it happen?

And more importantly what was it that killed her?

Praise

‘Devoured this. Brilliantly fun and astute spidery genius.’
Natasha Pulley, author of The Mars House

‘Chilling and unforgettable, this imaginative and atmospheric tale has enough twists and turns to leave you travel sick right up until the spine-tingling finale. CJ Tudor meets Riley Sager in this unpredictable treat.’
John Marrs

‘Chilling and thrilling, Scuttle is a masterclass in horror writing. Barnaby Walter pulls off that clever trick of blending highly relatable characters with a darkly compelling plot.’
Marion Todd

‘Scuttle is Barnaby’s first adventure in horror, combining his trademark empathy for young characters with a frightening yet credible plot line. I can’t recommend his books enough!’
John Boyne

‘Genuinely horrifying—and that’s just the humans! Scuttle puts a nifty spin on coming-of-rage tropes, and sensitively explores issues of identity, family trauma and teen angst. Genre fans will love the retro easter eggs sprinkled amid the blood and guts. This is skin-crawling horror at its shiver-inducing best.’
Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll
