description: Spooky or funny, surprising or frightening, Shock Shop is a collection of brand-new novels by some of the greatest names in children`s writing. Hairy Bill; One morning, the Matheson family come downstairs to find that their living room is unnaturally, indeed frighteningly tidy. At first they assume it`s a break-in (obsessively tidy thieves? ) - But soon the truth becomes clear. It`s Hairy Bill - a brownie or bogle, the Matheson family`s very own house spirit. He used to do chores on the family farm. In the city, he decorates and cleans. Soon the whole house is redecorated in Scottish Baronial style - deer`s heads, tartan aplenty, Scottish landscapes on the wall...But the Mathesons don`t want to live with a demonic antidote to Carole Smillie. How can they get rid of the sinister spirit of cleaning?
