Lord Loss (Book One of The Demonata): Book 1

Product Information

A suprise in a way that it was so uniquely different from everything I have ever read that I found myself reading it entirely through in the one sitting.

His speech pattern is characterised by a tone of immense sadness, coupled with the use of quite a sophisticated vocabulary; he rarely uses abbreviations, and always addresses characters by their full names as opposed to nicknames. The only way to cure him is by winning three out of five simultaneous chess games with the powerfully magical demon master Lord Loss while another person battles his familiars.I had no idea what to expect and that's part of the fun, so I won't enlighten you about what this book is about. Grubbs figures that it's better for Bill-E to believe that Dervish is his father, since his real father is dead. Because of Grubbs' insults to both the game of Chess and Lord Loss himself, Lord Loss vows to make the Gradys suffer, a vow that intensifies in venom as the series progresses.

He then transports into the Original Board (taken from Drust in Bec) upon Bec's request, and secretely makes a deal with her. What I was faced with after only two chapters was some of the most brutal horror and gore I’d read in a while.It’s been over twelve years since I last read this book, coming back to it, I’m filled with so much nostalgia.
