Darren Shan is
excellent as
usual with his
latest,
Slawter
(Harper Collins
�12.99). A
famous film
director tries
to make a film
about demons. No
one knows about
it. It's secret.
The town in the
film is called
Slawter and
they're filming
it on a special
location in the
middle of
nowhere.
Dervish, Grubbs
and Bill-E are
summoned to help
with the visual
effects of the
film. There's
only one tiny
problem. The
demons in the
film are real!
Other children
working on the
film start dying
mysteriously and
no one knows who
is on whose
side. When they
discover the
truth, Dervish,
Grubbs and
Bill-E do
everything in
their power to
stop them. This
is the third
book of The
Demonata - a
series of books
about demons
written by
Darren Shan. I
think that this
is an amazing
book, but not
quite as good as
the first in
The Demonata,
Lord Loss.
It is full of
twists and turns
that you
wouldn't expect
and just right
for people who
love horror.
