Lord Loss by Darren Shan

Lord Loss is a horror fiction and children’s literature novel written by Darren Shan, it is the first book of the Demonata series. The main character of the story is Grubbs Grady who is the younger child of a family that is obsessed with chess. He notices that there was a growing unease amongst his family. On a night full of death and darkness, Grubbs first encounters Lord Loss and his evil minions and he learns three things: “the world is vicious and cruel”, “magic is possible”, and “demons exist”. Darren Shan is one of my favourite authors in the horror genre with his explicit detail of and terrifying imagery together with an excellent story create one of the best horror books I’ve read. I would recommend middle school and high school students to read this book and other in the series.
