That is how you solve the clues. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Only they are not as OBVIOUS as O’Connell Street, obviously.
So then when you have solved all the clues, you merry sleuths, you log on to www.littleisland.ie and you go to the page called Nightmare Club Competition and you get this form thingy and you write in the answers. That’s how you get the cake. Or at least, that’s how you get invited to the Meeting with Cake (or party, if you are from Glasnevin).
Twelve unlucky winners will be invited to the cake thingy, and one of the twelve, the unluckiest of all, will also win a book token for a million pounds. (Hah! There aren’t any pounds any more, that was a joke.) I mean, a whole lot of euro. (But not a million. Come on, they are little tiny publishers, not international bankers.)
OK, so watch out for the street names and place names, all in Dublin, as you read the story, and write them down. And then get the next book and do the same. And the next, and the next. They are all called The Nightmare Club (books 1 to 4) and I wrote them. That’s how you know which ones to get - clever, eh? Dead clever.

PS: Not everyone who gets all twelve right can have the cake thingy; there isn’t enough room and there isn’t enough cake, so if more than twelve of yous get it right, there will have to be a raffle. OK?
PPS: The last day for entering the competition is The Last Day. Of 2011. Easy date to remember: the last day is the last day.
If you are reading this AFTER the last day of 2011, you’ll have to check out the website to see if there is another competition you can enter.
