Darren Shan is the number-one best-selling author of the series THE SAGA OF DARREN SHAN, the DEMONATA and more recently the SAGA OF LARTEN CREPSLEY and ZOM-B. His books have been read by millions of people around the world and translated into more than 25 languages. Darren lives in seclusion in the depths of Ireland. He is a big film buff, and also loves theatre, comics and books, and collecting art. He loves dreaming up new ways to terrify his readers, but never drinks blood. Or so he claims.

Praise for the Demonata Series: "Utterly unputdownable" - The Times "The master of children's horror at his blood-curdling best." - Publishing News "As grossly entertaining as ever, Grubbs's cynical teenaged voice carries the story along like a bat out of hell." - The Times
