Tragickall History of Henry Fowst

In the shadows of Walton Hall a demon lurks. His name: Mephistopheles. In 1586, young John Striven struck a
bargain with him in return for help against his murderous foster brother. Nice work for a demon – or it should have
been. Because somehow, his plan to trap the 12-year-old went wrong. All he needs now is another soul, in similar
desperation, to call on him.
Enter 13 year-old Henry Fowst. A pupil at Northwell School, Henry longs to win the Northwell History Essay Prize.
Exploring the school’s sixteenth century library, he stumbles across the diary of a boy his own age beginning this 20th
day of Januarie, 1586... Soon Henry is absorbed in John Striven’s struggles with his jealous foster-brother, Thomas
Walton, who, it seems, will stop at nothing to be rid of him. Then matters take a darker turn. Battling to escape his
own enemy, Henry finds his life beginning to imitate John’s and when the diary shows John summoning ‘an Angellick
Spirit’ to his aid, Henry eagerly tries the same. Unfortunately, calling up Mephistopheles lands both boys in greater
danger than they’d ever bargained for...
