Overview
Step into the fog-wrapped streets of Eerie-on-Sea with this complete five-book paperback collection from Thomas Taylor. Following hotel lost-and-founder Herbie Lemon and his friend Violet Parma, each story blends seaside folklore, gentle scares and page-turning mystery. Perfect for confident readers aged 8 to 12, this bundle gathers Malamander, Gargantis, Shadowghast, Festergrimm and Mermedusa in one set — an ideal gift or classroom read for fans of quirky adventure fiction.
About the Books
Nobody visits Eerie-on-Sea in winter, especially when the wreck of the Leviathan looms near Maw Rocks and locals whisper of the mysterious malamander. In Malamander, Herbie Lemon's talent for reuniting lost property with its owner is tested when the "lost thing" turns out to be a girl with no memory of herself. Gargantis follows a fierce electrical storm that washes a strange bottle ashore, reawakening old legends of a monster from the deep. Shadowghast brings a hypnotic stage magician and her shadowy entourage to town on the eve of Ghastly Night, stirring up secrets the townsfolk would rather forget. In Festergrimm, an old enemy resurfaces alongside a legendary clockwork automaton and a decaying waxworks gallery, pushing Herbie and Violet into their strangest case yet. Finally, Mermedusa sees a paranormal podcast crew descend on the town in midwinter, hunting for the malamander once more, while Herbie is plagued by unsettling dreams and the eerie hum that haunts Eerie-on-Sea. Together, the five books form a satisfying mystery series that rewards reading in order while working as standalone adventures. Thomas Taylor's inventive world-building and moody seaside setting have made the series a firm favourite for readers who love mystery with a splash of the supernatural.
