SOMETIMES, WHEN THE STORM RAGES AND THE WIND HOWLS THROUGH THE TREES, YOU WRIGGLE UNDER THE DUVET AND PULL THE COVERS HIGH.

LATE AT NIGHT, WHEN THE MOON IS FULL AND HIGH, GLOWING HEADLIGHTS IN THE DISTANCE MIMIC GLOWING EYES IN THE HEDGEROWS AND BUSHES.

ON NIGHTS LIKE THESE, THE CRACK OF A TWIG, THE SOUND OF BRANCHES TAPPING ON THE WINDOWPANE, THE SOFT, LOW GROWL OF A DISTANT ENGINE HEARD AMID THE WIND AND RAIN.

ON NIGHTS SUCH AS THESE CAN YOU REALLY BE SURE YOUR SAFE, OR IS THERE SOMETHING MORE SINISTER HIDDEN OUT THERE IN THE DARKNESS?
