Summary
When Herbie and Violet’s arch-enemy Sebastian Eels turns up in Eerie-on-Sea, seemingly back from the dead, it can only spell bad news. The town may welcome his entrepreneurial scheme to resurrect Festergrimm’s Waxworks, a dusty and defunct old gallery of spooky characters from Eerie legend, but Herbie and Violet are suspicious of his motives. And when they learn the legend of Ludo Festergrimm the clockmaker, creator of a vast mechanical robot that wrought havoc in the wrong hands, they KNOW they’re on the right track. But how can they get the residents of Eerie-on-Sea to believe them?

Critics Review
Thomas Taylor has created another original and somewhat chaotic ripping yarn. * ReadPlus *
There is much to enjoy about this series – from the fantastic characterisation and Herbie and Violet’s voices that you cannot help but enjoy as you follow them into their next great adventure. The creepiness is palpable and enjoyable, and the pacing and humour have not waned since Gargantis… There’s magic in Taylor’s writing that pulls you into Eerie-on-Sea, takes you on a grand, spooky, atmospheric adventure until you resurface at the other end. * Reading Time *
