I like his books - I think I have "The Mummy, The Will & The Crypt" somewhere...

I'm not sure how many of his I've read, but 'Clock' with its spooky car chase is definitely a big childhood memory.

Real interesting reading it 25 years later and realising how much of the story is told through overhead snippets of the adults' conversations - as heard by the 10 year old who doesn't grasp all the implications.

Does "The Mummy, The Will & The Crypt" have the same characters?
