Der zwölfjährige David Eliot wurde gerade wegen »übermäßiger Kameradschaft« seiner Schule verwiesen, und das gefällt seinem spießigen Vater gar nicht. Doch direkt nach dem Rauswurf kommt unerwartet ein Brief hereingeflattert, der David einlädt, ins Internat »Groosham Grange« einzutreten.

1. kniha série Síla Pětice. Vždycky věděl, že je jiný. Nejdřív byly sny. Pak přišla smrt… Když se Matt Freeman dostane do potíží s policií, pošlou ho do pěstounské rodiny v Yorkshiru. Zanedlouho získá dojem, že s jeho opatrovnicí není něco v pořádku – stejně jako s celou vesnicí. Potom se Matt dozví o Starých a začne chápat, v čem je jiný než ostatní. Ale nikdo mu nevěří; nikdo mu nedokáže pomoct. Neexistují důkazy. Nemá to logiku. Je tu pouze Brána. Autor knih o Alexu Riderovi přichází s prvním dílem zcela nové série Síla Pětice plné děsivých nadpřirozených dobrodružství…

Als Daniel Hawthorne, Ex-Polizist und Privatdetektiv, und sein »Assistent« Anthony Horowitz zu einem Literaturfestival auf die beschauliche Kanalinsel Alderney eingeladen werden, rechnen die beiden im Traum nicht damit, Hals über Kopf in eine Mordermittlung verwickelt zu werden. Aber die exklusive Runde, die sich hier versammelt hat – ein Kinderbuchautor, eine französische Lyrikerin, ein Fernsehkoch, eine blinde Wahrsagerin und ein Historiker –, macht den beiden einen Strich durch die Rechnung, und darum herum tummeln sich zudem die Bewohner der Insel, die wegen einer geplanten Stromtrasse heillos zerstritten sind. Und prompt wird der Mäzen des Festivals brutal ermordet, und Hawthorne und Horowitz müssen den örtlichen Polizeikräften zu Hilfe eilen. Aber erst als ein weiterer Mord geschieht, gelingt es den beiden, dem Täter auf die Spur zu kommen und nebenbei noch einige andere Geheimnisse ans Tageslicht zu holen.

Další soubor hororových povídek Anthonyho Horowitze, v nichž jsou hlavními (a nechtěnými) hrdiny děti, určených pro mladé čtenáře a pochopitelně i pro jejich rodiče. Čeká na ně stopař, který není tím, kým se zdá být, strašidelná vesnice ukrývající hrůzné tajemství, mobil, kterým se dá dovolat mrtvým i vražedný výtah. Můžete se těšit na šokující pointy i notnou dávku černého humoru. Horory na dobrou noc 2 jsou působivou sbírkou děsivých příběhů od uznávaného autora a televizního scenáristy Anthonyho Horowitze.
