The Thumper, S. R. Martin , single work children's horror
"The Thumper is and always will be. It is also than the forests, great than the karri trees. The Thumper is something that lurks within legend and inspires nightmares. It is fuelled by imagination and lives in darkness. It is thunder and lightening, the destroyer of trees. It is the Thumper. It feeds on fear." (back cover)

The Tunnel, the Dark, S. R. Martin , single work children's fiction children's horror
"Imagine a blackness that is total. You can see nothing whatsoever. Now realise that you have no idea where you are -- but, bit by bit, you hear the strangest sounds coming closer and closer, sounds which are vaguely familiar yet you just can't figure out what they are.

Three boys are lost in a nightmare from which there is seemingly no way out." (Back cover)
