Book: The Wintermoor Lights by Dan Smith. The next book in the Night House Files series. Cover shows some kids in silhouette rising up mysteriously to the sky while being watched by a girl in the foreground. Illustrated by Luke Brookes.

Just read THE WINTERMOOR LIGHTS by Dan Smith
Mysterious lights in the sky affect kids in a terrible way & only one girl sees what’s happening.
A great horror/SF book with a real sense of dread. Nice “investigative” feel to it too.
Wonderful!

Wintermoor Lights

The autumn nights are drawing in. The perfect time to learn the truth about what really happened in Wintermoor ... if you dare.

Don’t have nightmares!!

Thanks so much Steve! Glad you enjoyed it 😄

Book: The Deadsoul Project, first book of The Night House Files, by Dan Smith. Cover shows some kids looking up at a tower block with a helicopter flying overhead.

Just read THE DEADSOUL PROJECT by Dan Smith.
Something awful invades a 1970s tower block & two kids fight for their lives.
This is fantastic horror/sf book, scary & tense, with a clever “investigative” structure to the story.
Brilliant stuff!

The Berlin Wall: Divided Lives The Berlin Wall separated families, friends, and loyalties when it was erected in 1961, symbolizing the Cold War divide. Dan Smith’s book “The Wall Between Us” explores the impact…

Today is the #DayofGermanUnity, the 35th anniversary of two German states becoming one again.
Here is a fab classroom resource from @dansmithauthor.bsky.social to explain to kids what separation meant. A brilliant classroom resource! timetunnellers.com/2024/11/20/t...

US editions are here!

Thank you!!

Tara Fisher’s best friend Zoe is the first to see the lights over Wintermoor – and she’s never the same again. The adults dismiss what is happening, but will they finally listen when the kids start to disappear…? Terrifying thriller from master of sci-fi @dansmithauthor.bsky.social. bit.ly/4mFvzx3

I'll be at Waterstones in Durham on Saturday to sign books - including my new one! - to chat, and to make a nuisance of myself. Come and say hi!
@wstonesdurham

But what do the numbers mean??!!

The book, the cover of which shows a gloomy scene with several silhouetted figures standing by a body of water, with 2 of them levitating upwards, and the title’s press release.

What do the numbers mean …?!😱😱

Watch @dansmithauthor.bsky.social talk about his new Night House Files book if you dare! I feel like I’ve been sent some subliminal messages and will be muttering numbers in my sleep tonight! 😵‍💫

Hope to scare you again!!

The #Nightwatchman has sent @dansmithauthor.bsky.social a second file! Mysterious lights, numbers, personality changes - what really happened to the children of Wintermoor? Coming September 2025. Hear from Dan about the next instalment of the #NightHouseFiles here: bit.ly/44iU9w4...

The #Nightwatchman has sent me another file, and this one is just as terrifying. Can you handle the truth?

I hope they do like it!

Thank you so much 😊

Aw, thank you so much. You’ve brightened my day. It’s always so lovely to hear from a contented reader.

The Wall Between Us by @dansmithauthor.bsky.social has been on the shelf too long! In bits by the end (no spoilers) after getting totally and utterly absorbed in Monika and Anya’s Berlin Wall story. Dan - I’m a fan anyway - but this has been a brilliant read. #ukkidlit #berlinwall #historicfiction
