Slawter
Here he goes again! Grubbs is back, but unfortunately so is Lord Loss. Many good things are happening in the life of Grubbs Grady. His Uncle Dervish seems to be recovering from the last demon encounter, he, Grubbs and cousin Bill-E are becoming closer and what’s more, they are consulting with the great director, Davida Haym, on her newest movie. Maybe life is going to settle down for them. At least this is what everyone wishes.
On the movie set, Grubbs begins to grow very suspicious about a lot of things. The film Davida is working on is just too close to home. She wants to make a horror movie to end all horror movies and demons are the main theme. In the very first demon scene, Grubbs knows there is trouble afoot – those demons looks too familiar and is much too realistic. He is assured time and again that everything and everyone is just fine; there is absolutely nothing to worry about – it’s all movie magic, latex and great costumes. Even Uncle Dervish feels that Grubbs is totally overreacting. But is he?
Soon, people are missing and Grubbs is picking up a distinct pulse of magic. Magic becomes possible for Grubbs only when he is exposed to a dangerous demon situation. Finally, in a desperate attempt to prove that he's right, Grubbs and his friends search for the hotspot of activity on the movie set.
Their gruesome and heartbreaking discovery convinces Grubb's friends that the Demonata has indeed returned. Now everyone must be told and they need to run while they still can. Unfortunately, it might be too late because Lord Loss and Davida have formed a pact. Who is going to die this time?
Darren Shan has once again created a fast-paced, terrifically gruesome story. Fans will not be disappointed by the blood and mutilations in this third of the series, because by now, readers know just what they will be getting when they tackle one of the Demonata books. Just when you think it can't get worse, it does.
