How to deal with the dark
1. Conquer your fear.
2. Clear your mind, so that dark magic cannot take hold.
3. Fill your pockets with salt and iron, and always carry a rowan staff with a silver blade.
4. Never forget your silver chain for binding a witch.
5. A spook’s best weapons against the dark are common sense, courage, and the skills and knowledge he learns as an apprentice.
The Spook’s Bestiary is the complete guide to becoming a spook. Learn how to battle the dark, the demons, the witches, and all the things that go bump in the night. Lavishly illustrated and told in the Spook’s own voice, this is a companion to the best-selling Last Apprentice series.
Joseph Delaney lives in Lancashire, England, in the middle of boggart territory.
Praise for the Last Apprentice series:“This is the stuff of skin-prickling campfire stories.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Anything but tame.”
-Horn Book (starred review)
“Delaney’s mastery of suspense will grip even reluctant readers with his dramatic, beautifully paced prose.”
-The Times (London)
