First of all, a
warning. Lord
Loss is a
book intended to
give you
sleepless nights
and bad dreams.
If this is okay
with you, then
you will love
it. This is the
latest
horrorfest to be
unleashed by
Darren Shan, the
modern master of
teen horror
fiction. Fans of
Shan's previous
chillers will
lap up every
detail of this
new tale, and
they will not be
disappointed.
New readers
might have a few
difficulties
getting into the
swing of things.
Teenager Grubbs
Grady's life
suddenly
descends into
hell from
nowhere. His
parents and
sister are
murdered by a
trio of uneathly
demons and
Grubbs is
dragged off to
live with a
weird relative,
Uncle Dervish.
Our hero thinks
he has escaped
from his recent
horrors, but, of
course, he
hasn't. Uncle
Dervish is not
what he seems
and poor old
Grubbs is soon
knee-deep in a
world of demons,
blood and
monsters. This
is not a book
for young
readers or
anyone with a
weak stomach. |
