Praise for Raggy Maggie: "Raggy Maggie is a fast-paced fury of a novel, packed with genuine scares and thrills. It made me shiver more than once and I devoured it at lightning speed. I'll definitely be checking back to see how this creepy, deliciously nightmarish series develops!" DARREN SHAN

Barry Hutchison hails from the Highlands of Scotland, where he spends time writing screenplays, comics and scary children's books. He is in his early thirties -- but on a good day could easily pass for mid-forties -- and lives happily with his long-term partner and young son. He is tall -- but not like the BFG or that -- and likes seafood, comics and Elvis, though not necessarily in that order.
