Demon Thief by Darren Shan
After the horrors of Lord Loss, the terrifying Demonata series continues with the Demon Thief. “A huge, jagged patch of light forms at the foot of my bed. Then a shape presses through. I’m too horrified to scream. It’s a monster from my very worst nightmare. Pale red skin. Dark red eyes. No nose. Sharp, grey teeth. As it leans further forward I see a hole in the left side of its chest, and inside — dozens of tiny, hissing snakes. The monster frowns and stretches a hand towards me…” When Kernel Fleck's brother is stolen by demons, he must enter their universe in search of him. It is a place of magic, chaos and incredible danger. Kernel has three aims: • learn to use magic, • find his brother, • stay alive. But a heartless demon awaits him, and death has been foretold…Praise for Lord Loss

Praise for Darren Shan
Lord of the Shadows
'Stephen King for kids … Darren Shan has brought his own brand of vampire mythology into the heads and hearts of thousands of children with his vivid and compelling series The Saga of Darren Shan, about one boy's journey from ordinary lad to vampire prince. Once they're hooked, kids tend to rip into the flesh of these books, quickly draining them of their life blood. The covers, with images of ghouls, creeping hands and dripping fangs are terrifying alone. ' Metro Life, Evening Standard
