From the international multi-million selling author DARREN SHAN comes a new character, a new scenario, a new set of horrors now in paperback.

LORD LOSS will be devoured by avid Shansters and tingle the spines of many new fans."The door feels red hot, as though a fire is burning behind it.

The door opens. Hell is revealed."When Grubbs Grady first encounters Lord Loss and his evil minions, he learns three things:* the world is vicious,* magic is possible,* demons are real.He thinks that he will never again witness such a terrible night of death and darkness....He is wrong.
