GRUBBS Grady is
a really awkward
boy who
accidentally
opens the door
to hell. Evil
spirits
have killed his
parents and big
sister but
Grubbs manages
to escape. When
he tells his
story to the
police everyone
thinks he's gone
mad, that he's
imagined the
whole thing and
lock him up for
being insane.
His uncle
Dervish visits
him in prison
and gradually
reveals the
curse hanging
over his family
- as well as the
reason why
they're all
obsessed by
playing
chess.
This is a much
more horrifying,
hair-raising,
fast-paced story
than any of the
Darren Shan
books or any of
the horror
stories you've
read before. If
s gory, full of
very real demons
and werewolves -
and guaranteed
to give you
nightmares.
