The winner of the October Shanville Monthly competition has been drawn, and the lucky Shanster was...

...drum roll...

RONALD MILES, of the good ol' US of A.

I've packed up Ronald's signed Demonata audio CDs and will be posting them to him shortly. I will ALSO be posting five small mystery prizes -- I had an unexpectedly high number of entrants, so I decided at the last minute to dole out five runner-up prizes too. I had a quick look round my office and came up with five very small but quite rare demonic items -- but I'm not saying what they were, so that they'll come as a (hopefully nice) surprise to the five lucky runner-ups! And those were, in the order drawn...

TAZZY JENINGA, the Netherlands.
TROY KASEMODEL, the USA.
LAUREN TERRY, the UK.
LAURA-ELIZABETH HOWES, the UK.
KATIE-LOUISE DEAN, the UK.

Thanks to everyone who entered. Congratulations to the winners, and better luck next time to everyone else! Look for another contest soon on a future issue of the Shanville Monthly: https://www.darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly/
