This entire
story can be
described with
one word:
gruesome. The
book is horror,
so it is
appropriate, but
for me there was
too much blood,
gore and guts.
One of the main
characters has
raging paranoia,
another is a
werewolf and the
third is in
constant fear of
attack from the
demon Lord Loss.
The main
character is
Grubbs and he
has played chess
against Lord
Loss. Lord Loss
is a Demonata of
terrible power
who has two club
feet, many small
cuts all over
his body, pale
red skin and a
hole in his
chest in which a
large number of
snakes reside.
These snakes are
entirely under
his control and
he could best be
described as a
cruel, sadistic
maniac, but then
again, that is
the personality
of all demons.
The second main
character is
Dervish. He
battled Lord
Loss in the
spirit world,
and as a result
has been in a
coma for over a
year. He gets a
crush in this
book, and has a
surprisingly
long
relationship
with Davida (a
film director)
considering the
kind of book
this is.
The third main
character is
Bill-E and he is
a lycanthrope
(lycanthropy is
a disease that
causes
werewolves) and
Lord Loss cured
him.
This book is
perfect for
people looking
for a shudder
but should be
avoided by
people who don’t
like an excess
of violence.
