Fiction, Horror & ghost stories
It started as a harmless practical joke. But then the real nightmare begins...John Straker is the neighbourhood bogeyman. Hideously disfigured, he hides himself away from the rest of the world - until the night when a group of children set fire to his house and reduce it - and its owner - to ashes.
Mr Bad Face has been well and truly laid to rest. Or so the children think...
They're grown up now and they've struggled hard to leave the bad dreams behind. Then, without warning, a figure from the past casts his shadow across the present. Mr Bad Face is back - and he wants revenge.
