Officially titled The Demonata: Lord Loss, by Darren Shan, this book is the first novel in Shan's ten book series The Demonata. If you are looking for a well thought out, addicting book with great characters and some comedic points, Lord Loss is just the book you're looking for.
Grubbs Grady is a normal kid until his parents and older sister are murdered by a bleeding demon called Lord Loss. Because nobody believes Grubbs's story, they throw him in a mental hospital. He is there for months, until his uncle, Dervish, comes with pictures of Lord Loss and two other demons that helped kill Grubbs's parents. After Grubbs is sprung from the hospital he goes to live with Dervish in a small town called Carcery Vale. Life seems good; Grubbs even found a friend in a boy named Bill-E Spleen; until Bill-E and Grubbs begin to suspect Dervish is a werewolf.
The story seems far-fetched at first, but after giving the first book a try, you will find you are dying to know what happens next.
