The lid gave, eventually, with surprisingly little noise. Nothing splintered. Nothing broke. No hinges flew, or even creaked, and for a second or two nothing happened at all. Then came the first scream. It blew out a candle, that scream . . . 'Shut the lid! For the love of God . . . SHUT THE LID!' And so the box was slammed shut, hidden away, and forgotten about. But what lay within was only dormant . . . waiting for the time when it would be released, and let loose upon the world. And that time was about to come . . . That time is now. This fantastic new novel from acclaimed writer, Julie Hearn, is truly unique and tells of friendship, secrets, love, hate and hope.
