Nightmare Fuel / A Night in Terror Tower

Go To

  • A Night In Terror Tower is one of the creepiest and most disturbing books in the series.
    • Two siblings are locked in a London torture chamber and are then chased by a menacing man in black. Then, when they get back to the hotel, they discover that they have no modern currency and suddenly begin to lose their memories, even of their parents and last names. It turns out that they are actually a prince and a princess from the Middle Ages (mentioned by their tour guide earlier in the book) who were sent forward in time and given false memories for their own protection, and the man chasing them is a notorious executioner who wants their heads on a platter.
    • The Executioner himself. He's a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to find his targets, even if he has to travel through time to do so. Basically, he's a medieval version of a Terminator. Even the local wizard is terrified of him!
    • The scene where the kids start to lose their memories and have flashbacks to the Middle Ages, the time period from which they came. It's every bit as freaky as in the book, and Word of God says it's one of the most genuinely scary scenes he ever wrote.
