i really like the spooks book and i can w8 4 number 6 mams coming bak and alice is the fiends daughter weird I adore your books and I cant wait for the sixth book and movie, as long as it does the book justice. You are my fave author and a good setting i think would be liverpool because theres that great big cathedral. The Wardstone Chronicles Series is set in the ‘County’. In truth, that County is Lancashire but the stories are not located within a specific historical context. This is a mythical Lancashire but one that should certainly be recognizable to natives of our region. I think one of the spooks oldest brothers could be plotting with the devil in ribchester. So he has to chose between good and his brother.

I think I will die if the sixth and seventh books don't come out soon! I think you are the best writer in the history of the world, and I along with all your other fans really appreciate you putting so much effort into giving us such awesome entertainment. I really hope that Tom and Alice's romance continues to flourish.Thank you May the lord preserve Mr. Delaney for many years to come. I love his writing style, and writer genious.I've read all his Last Apprentice series.I crave for more.Hi Joseph My Mum Works With Your Sister In Law And I Have Read All Of Your Books And I Cant Believe That Alice Is The Devil's Daughter ?

I´m reading them in German that´s why I just got until Book N°4, I have to wait a little bit longer than u guys to get the translated ones.Greetings from luxembourg I came upon the Spook's series of books by chance, coming from Lancashire I'm really enjoying them. As a little girl I always found Ribchester and Skipton magical places - there're a few leftover shadows around those towns.

Help playing audio/video Joseph tells us more about his 'Spooks' series that has its roots firmly in the folklore and geography of Lancashire... In this book there is danger from water witches and other creatures that live in fresh water. Not only that the Fiend makes another appearance and Tom is in great danger. If you hail from Lancashire, one day the Spook will visit somewhere close to where you live!" Joseph Delaney The Spook’s Apprentice was the first children’s novel he has written and is partly based on the experiences and memories he had as a child. I don't live in Lancashire or anything, but these books are amazing. Seriously, I'd recommend these books to anyone. I have just started to read the fifth book and i cannot wait for the sixth book. Are they seriously working on a film? If they are I can't wait! And when is it coming out?
