A 1989 novel by Creator/RobertSwindells. The night before a five day overnight school trip to Whitby, North Yorkshire, Fliss Morgan dreams of an empty house wherein lies a coffin. The next morning, the class board a coach, and Fliss settles happily with them into the Crow's Nest hotel for five days of coastal exploration and historical sites. Late that night, Fliss, on her way to the bathroom, sees a previously absent number thirteen engraved on the door of a linen cupboard, and hears whimpering and snuffling sounds from within. Throughout the next few days, Ellie-May Sutherland repeatedly feels drained and giddy. Having heard from Gary Bazzard of the town's connection with Literature/{{Dracula}}, Fliss starts to worry about the implications of her dream...
