Overview

LAZYBONES A Scare at Bedtime He spent his life sleeping. Now he'll spend eternity awake. Danny Kerrigan is the laziest man in Ireland. At twenty-seven, he's never been up before 11am, never held down a job, and has broken his parents' hearts with his endless days in bed. When he oversleeps on his first day as a travelling salesman, Danny's desperate attempt to finish his route leads him deep into the countryside, straight into the worst storm of the year. After his van crashes on a dark country road, Danny spots salvation, a light glowing in the window of an old house. The woman in black who answers the door offers him shelter from the storm. The house is full, she says they're having a wake. The only place left is in the front room. Exhausted and soaked to the bone, Danny fumbles through the pitch-black room until he finds what feels like a comfortable old box bed. For the first time in his life, he settles in for the night without complaint. The next morning, Danny wakes early to a sound he'll never forget, the hammering of nails. The ""bed"" he chose was no bed at all, it's a coffin. And now he's being sealed inside it. Buried alive six feet under, Danny discovers the house's terrible secret, it collects lazy souls, trapping them in an eternal waking nightmare. No sleep. No death. No escape. Just endless consciousness in the darkness, the perfect punishment for those who wasted their lives in bed. Danny Kerrigan wanted nothing more than a permanent lie-in. Now he's got one. Part of the ""A Scare at Bedtime"" series of spine-tingling tales perfect for reading before you turn out the lights... if you dare. Warning: This book may make you think twice about hitting the snooze button.
