Toady

Welcome to the Horror Club: a world of werewolves and poltergeists, psychopaths and shape changers, the unquiet and the living dead...A fantasy world, of course, for Richard, Robin, and Nigel, the club's members are ordinary boys from ordinary families, who just happen to share a taste for the macabre in films and videos, books, and comics. And then they admit a fourth member to their club — Toady, a far-from-ordinary boy with a taste for the macabre in real life. From the moment he lures the others into a nerve-jangling séance in a house with a chilling reputation, their lives are blighted by worse horror than they have ever imagined.In a fusion of nightmare and reality, terror stalks the familiar streets of a sleepy seaside town and waits to invade the safest home. The pervasive stain of evil spreads like ripples on a pond, leaving a trail of sacrilege and death in its wake. One by one the members of the Horror Club are overcome and forced into a netherworld, halfway between illusion and reality. It is up to the final member to fight alone against the evil they have unleashed — until, in the final battle, he is joined by an unexpected ally.
