The master of
horror returns
with a new
spine-tingling
adventure in the
fifth title of
The Demonata...
"Locked inside
Dervish's study.
Breath coming
quickly,
raggedly.
Trembling
wildly. I still
feel sick and
dizzy, but maybe
that's fear. I
force myself to
breathe
normally,
evenly. When I'm
in control, I
study my
reflection,
looking for
telltale signs.
Am I turning
into a werewolf?
I don't know!"
Grubbs Grady has
so far escaped
the family
curse, but when
he begins to
experience
alarming
symptoms at the
onset of the
full moon, he is
scared that the
jaws of fate are
opening and
about to swallow
him whole. He
has cheated
death, defeated
demons, moved on
with his life.
But Grubbs is
torn between the
world of magic
and his wolfen
genes. Can he
fight the beast
inside or will
he fall victim
to his tainted
blood?
Wow! And
double wow! Book
five of the
Demonata sees
Grubbs and his
half-brother
exploring a
cave, and a
tragic death
which has
serious
repercussions
for all
concerned.
There's a moral
to this book -
don't trust
anybody! Darren
Shan's
rollercoaster
ride through the
houses of
horrors goes
from strength to
strength - this
is fantastic!
