I've drawn the four winners of my October Shanville Monthly competition, and the lucky Shansters out of the hat were, in the order drawn...

Rebecca Harrod, Ireland.

Andy Bell, UK.

Samantha Pender, UK.

Billy Garner, New Zealand.

There were 202 entries in total, so everyone had a 50/1 shot. Congratulations to the lucky four, and better luck next time to everyone else!!

That "next time" is literally just around the corner, as I'm going to be running another competition in the November issue of my monthly newsletter. (And, indeed, I'll be running a third in December!) You'll be able to find the details here at the start of next month -- and catch up on all the current month's Darren Shan news if you haven't yet checked it out: https://darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly
