Catchman, real or a figment of imagination? Davey is part of one gang and a member of their rival gang turns up dead. and The Catchman is to blame.
  Its only A short story at 196 pages long. and only takes a couple of hours too read. I am trying hard not to spoil the story for you.  Because its short. this book is all about the plot and who or what is the Catchman if he is anything at all. there is quite a lot of violence is this book includes domestic violence. 
and Its hard to feel anything for these characters, as its plot driven and the main characters, you only really see the thuggish side of them. and The ending left me with a few questions. which I cant share with you as it will spoil the book. 
Overall. I would recommend reading it if you are a point horror fan.  The Catchman is a good character.

Great supernatural thriller from Chris Wooding - still one of my favourite teen/YA authors.
