The Terror

This is the third in Graham Masterton's Rook supernatural horror series. The Terror sees a new student joining Jim Rookís Special Class II for remedial English, a young Mexican boy called Rafael Diaz. He seems pleasant enough at first and fits into the group nicely, but this is probably due to the fact that heís offering to rid the other pupils of all their deepest, darkest fears (such as spiders and the dark) by way of an ancient Mayan cleansing ritual.
