Synopsis

The Dark Man walks with the mysterious Old Man in the city. He learns his destiny: a fight against evil that must only end one way. Part of the incredible Dark Man phenomenon, this gritty and mysterious book will grip readers and pull them into the tense storyline. The sinister atmosphere and strong black-and-white illustrations will entice even the most reluctant of teen readers because the book doesn't patronise, and accompanies the dark tales with a 'grown-up' style. This is one of the shorter stories in the Dark Man series focusing on the top 100 frequency words.
