Demon Road
Full of Landy’s trademark wit, action and razor sharp dialogue, DEMON ROAD kicks off with a shocking opener and never lets up the pace in an epic road-trip across the supernatural landscape of America. Killer cars, vampires, undead serial killers: they’re all here. And the demons? Well, that’s where Amber comes in... Sixteen years old, smart and spirited, she’s just a normal American teenager until the lies are torn away and the demons reveal themselves.
Forced to go on the run, she hurtles from one threat to another, revealing a tapestry of terror woven into the very fabric of her life. Her only chance rests with her fellow travellers, who are not at all what they appear to be...
Derek Landy
In the world of children's fantasy fiction, few characters crash through the pages quite like a wisecracking, sharply dressed skeleton detective—and few authors would dare make that their literary calling card. But Derek Landy did, and in doing so, redefined the limits of what middle grade and teen fantasy could look like.
A former screenwriter from Ireland with a background in martial arts, Landy didn’t arrive in publishing by the usual route. His Skulduggery Pleasant series kicked open the door in 2007 with a swagger, blending fast-paced supernatural action with razor-edged humor and surprisingly tender moments of grief, loyalty, and growth. Readers came for the undead sorcerer; they stayed for Valkyrie Cain, the fierce, flawed teenager at the heart of the story—and for a world that made even apocalypse scenarios feel strangely addictive.
