FROM the king of
children's
horror comes the
third feverishly
anticipated
title in The
Demonata.
The idea
for Slawter
came to Darren
Shan
after a couple
of visits to the
Harry Potter set
when he was
inspired by the
idea of basing a
story on a
film set. Set a
few months after
Lord Loss,
book one of the
series, Grubbs
is looking after
his uncle who is
still plagued by
nightmares after
his return from
the
Demonata
universe. When a
legendary cult
director calls
in
Dervish as a
consultant for a
new horror
movie, it seems
a perfect excuse
for a break from
routine.
But being on the
set of a town
called
Slawter stirs up
more than
memories for
Grubbs and his
friend Bill-E as
the
monsters aren't
guite as fake as
most of
the cast and
crew believe.
Shan is
undoubtedly a
master of his
craft but be
warned, this is
seriously scary. |
