Those of you who read my first Invisible Fiends book, Mr Mumbles, will possibly have read the sneak preview from book 2 which is tucked away at the back.

Book 2 is called Raggy Maggie, and sees Kyle pitted against… um… a five-year-old girl with a dolly. But the girl, Caddie, is no ordinary five-year-old, and the doll, Raggy Maggie, is certainly no ordinary toy. Together they’re a deadly pair, who think nothing of torturing and killing anyone who doesn’t join in their twisted games.

The German cover of the book has just been revealed – complete with a different title, Caddie’s Game – so I thought I’d let you see both covers here, plus my first ever piece of fan art, which also depicts Caddie and Raggy Maggie in all their horrifying glory.

Here’s the version of the cover you’ll see in the UK, Canada and Australia.

And here’s what you’ll see if you live in Germany.

Which one do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know.

And now for that fan art I mentioned. It comes from Tom Roberts, who came along to my recent event at Birmingham Central Library. I love it, and am going to frame it and stick it on the wall above my computer, in the hope Caddie’s creepy stare scares me into staying away from ebay and actually doing some work now and again.

Oh, and for those of you who found Mr Mumbles scary, I should probably warn you that Raggy Maggie is much, much more terrifying. You’ll never look at porcelain dolls in quite the same way again…
