Synopsis
This is a hellish nightmare for only the bravest of readers...Darren Shan's horrifying new series, "The Demonata", continues with Demon Thief - now available in a spine-chilling paperback with grisly glow-in-the-dark cover! "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; and 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, and stay alive. But a heartless demon awaits him, and death has been foretold!

Customer Reviews

Demon Theif review
The wonderful Demonata series continues...I absoloutly adore the way Darren Shan has gone back in time to the 1970's in this story- feature at least one character from the previous book who we all know as Dervish Grady as a punk, a new recruit to the Demon slaying team of Disciples.

Buy the book- it's brilliant.

not as good as the last one i read..but GREAT
I read this book after reading the fifth (or fourth?) series of the demomnata - Bec as it was displayed in the library and ididnt actaully realzie it was a series so I kind of jumped ahead.

reading backwards, the quality of this book is lower compared but still has the same twists and turns as bec. And because I read bec first, i got a few mroe surprises when I read this book.

leaves you thinking.

great book!

Chilling
a very un predictable tale with lots of gore and humore

a fantastic shock @ the end of the book

cheers shan
