"Have you ever heard a bump in the night?" said The Phoenix. "Or perhaps a creak, a groan, a squeak or a spooky moan?

"Well... in this week's issue of The Phoenix, there is something much more terrifying awaiting you in a little bejewelled box.

"Keep your ears alert for some terrifying chattering and keep your taste buds ready for some lip-smackingly delicious cheery pie... every child's midnight snack dreams will be realised in this brilliant tale, but so will their spooky nightmares!"
