«The Scarecrows» is the young-adult horror novel by Robert Westall, published by Puffin in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Simon is furious because his mother plans to remarry: he feels that she and his sister have forgotten his deceased father. He seeks refuge in an abandoned watermill, but there an older hatred nests: three scarecrows embodying violent dead stalk his family.

Aimed at young and teenage readers, especially those who enjoy horror and ghost stories.
