Fourteen-year-old Caz and her friend Lucy do the Creepy Thing. It's a bizarre version of "chicken". Caz and Lucy think it's pretty cool - after all it's just a game. No-one gets hurt, right? Until Caz gets more than she bargained for. MUCH more. For one thing, Caz soon comes to believe she's been cursed. For another, her life is now chained to the hag who lives at number 13 Briar Lane. What does she want? And who is the terrifying shadow-woman who seems to be stalking Caz? Is Caz possessed by a demon? Maybe the answers are to be found in the seedy Black Dog pub, or in the hair-raising Church, or down at the Tattoo Parlour. Or maybe the answers will come to life just when you find a way to pass on the curse. Whatever it is, you won't want to Do The Creepy Thing again.
