But the real joy comes in the dark humour and in the supporting cast of the ''host''. I won't say too much for fear of spoiling the laughs for you when they come, but there are some fabulous characters there. My favourite is Judge, a skinhead in a gingham shirt. He is FUNNY. But if you want the rest, I think you should meet them first on the page.
''Thirteen Days of Midnight'' is a great debut. It's confident and enthusiastic in its storytelling and the first person, present tense telling gives it a real sense of immediacy. It has relatable central characters and an entertaining supporting cast. It's chilling at times and funny at others. Great stuff, and I recommend it. We also have a review of Hunt's [[Phantom by Leo Hunt|Phantom]].
Older readers who like the sound of ''Thirteen Days of Midnight'' will love [[Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman]]. Younger readers shouldn't forget [[Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy]].
