Lord
Loss
should come with
a health
warning. It is
not for
children under
12, and those
who do read it
should be immune
to nightmares.
Grubbs, a surly
teenager,
returns home and
finds his
parents and
sister
eviscerated by
three demons out
of Hell, but his
troubles have
only just begun.
Nobody believes
in Lord Loss,
and it's only
when his unlce
Dervish rescues
him from a
lunatic asylum
that Grubbs
begins to
understand the
nature of the
ancient curse on
his family --
forcing them to
play chess for
the souls of
those they love
against a demon.
Utterly
unputdownable. |
