Lord Loss by Darren Shan

Reviewed by Jakob Lawrence 

 

Grubbs Grady is a young man whose life is utterly turned upside down when demons brutally massacre his family. Grubbs, his uncle, and the eccentric Bill-E Spleen, seek refuge in a distant house where they discover terrifying information about the paranormal world. The mansion is owned by Lord Loss, a powerful and malevolent demon king who rules the midnight monsters. As they fight to survive against dreadful monsters, Grubbs and Bill-E must traverse a world where nightmares and reality collide. Grubbs learns about the strong connections between his family and the malevolent powers at play, as well as his own hidden talents. Ultimately, Lord Loss is a fast-paced, thrilling horror story filled with suspense, dark humor, and unforgettable creatures.
