Synopsis
There are more chills and thrills in Darren Shan's latest "Demonata" title, now in paperback. Let the Slawter commence..."Never trust fairy tales. There are no happy endings. There's always something new around the corner. You can overcome major obstacles, face great danger, look evil in the eye and live to tell the tale - but that's not the end. As long as you're breathing, your story's still going!" Nightmares haunt the dreams of Dervish Grady since his return from the Demonata universe, but Grubbs takes care of his uncle as they both try to continue a normal, demon-free existence. When a legendary cult director calls in Dervish as consultant for a new horror movie, it seems a perfect excuse for a break from routine and a chance for some fun. But being on the set of a town called Slawter stirs up more than memories for Grubbs and his friend Bill-E.

Customer Reviews

Slawter review
The book takes off where Lord Loss ended, with Grubbs, Bill-E and Dervish Grady all try to live a normal life. Then a horror movie director invites them to come an join her as they film Slawter, the most realistic demon film ever.
But who is this director really working for?
Why are children going missing?
And why are the Demons on set looking realistic... too realistic?

Lord Loss is back, and wants revenge on Grubbs.

BUY THE BOOK! It's brilliant.

Slawter - The Best of the Series?
I read this book in 1 day. It was that gripping. It is a "Must Read Book" for ages 10+. You will be thrilled by the way that it is written. I am glad that Darren Shan wrote this book.

Really good
Pleased to say that the third novel in the Demonata trilogy is just as good as the first 2! This time the story returns to Grubbs Grady (along with Bill-E and Dervish, of course). A famous horror movie director has heard about Dervishes collection of books about demons and wants his (and Grubb's) assistance in the making of her new movie - Slawter.

Dervish, Grubbs and Bill-E arrive on the isolated movie site and as soon as the first scene is shot - a scene in which a boy is killed by a demon - Grubbs knows that there is a big problem with the movie...it's using real deomons!.

Another brilliant entry in the Demonata Saga - so good I read it in one night. Highly reccommended.
