Do you see the terror in this little troll's expression?!? He's so anguished because he's just realised that he's missed out on the chance to pre-order a signed, numbered, limited edition copy of THE TERRIFIED TROLL, Darren Shan's first picture book, drawn by new-kid-on-the-block Eva Byrne!!

If you don't want to miss the boat like the poor chap in the picture, you have until the end of play TODAY to place your order. You can also buy one of the remaining PERKS if interested -- exclusive art prints... the chance to have a one-to-one Zoom chat with Darren... plus the chance to meet Darren in the flesh and either hang out for a couple of hours or go on a book-inspired tour with him!!

But you'll need to HURRY -- as I said above, today, Wednesday January 10th, is the final day of the fundraising campaign. We'll be shutting it down tomorrow, so that Eva and I can focus on the creation of the book.

The fundraiser has been an incredible success. We set out with the goal of raising $10,000, but have already exceeded $15,000!!! A good chunk of that will go towards the publication and shipping costs of the book and various perks. The rest will go towards allowing Eva to spend more time working on the book (rather than accepting commission work), so that she can complete the illustrations sooner rather than later.

It's not too late to place YOUR pre-order -- and it's worth pointing out that the number of copies printed will be directly based on the pre-orders. This edition WILL NOT be on sale in shops or anywhere else -- those who pre-order will get a copy -- those who don't, won't!! :-)

To order your copy -- or nab a once-in-a-lifetime perk -- click on this link, but make sure you click TODAY, as tomorrow will be too late and you'll be left screaming at the heavens like this misfortunate... TERRIFIED TROLL!!!!
