The third
installment of
Darren Shan’s
excellent The
Demonata
series,
Slawter, is
finally out in
the U.S.! The
Crowgrrl
greedily
devoured every
delicious word!
Again, we
revisit the
lives of Grubbs
Grady, whose
first encounter
with the demonic
Lord Loss
started the
series. Grubbs’
Uncle Dervish, a
renown
occultist, is
approached by a
horror movie
producer who
wants to make a
film about
demons as
realistic as
possible.
Dervish
agrees to act as
consultant for
the film, and
takes Grubbs and
his brother Bill
E. in tow to the
set with him.
The set is a
town bought by
the film
company, and is
called
Slawter, the
same title as
the book (and
movie being made
in the
storyline). No
one involved is
allowed to
leave, once
there. There is
a much darker
secret there,
however. The
demons conjured
on screen are a
little too real.
Could it be
possible that
real demons are
indeed being
summoned????????
Either by
accident or even
more disturbing
- on purpose?
This
nail-biter is a
real
page-turner. But
just remember -
there’s no such
thing as a true
happy ending. Be
afraid. Be very
afraid!
