Synopsis

Paul has met his most audacious - and powerful - ancestor yet, Samuel Rector, who seemingly has the entire East End in thrall to him in the 1830s. His legion of 'rat boys' use terror and menace ordinarily, but with the demon seed inside them, their powers know no end. Their only match is Paul, the renegade, the one member of the Rector clan determined to strike each poisoned generation from the family history. But nobody is stronger than Lud, the King of London, struggling against imprisonment in his cell where the city's five gates meet.

 Book Overview: SCARED TO DEATH and THE DEMON ASSASSIN have combined sales of 17,000 copies in hardback and paperback - readers everywhere were bewitched by the collectible format, striking cover and pocket money price point. Acclaim for SCARED TO DEATH: 'entertainingly gruesome stuff' (Daily Telegraph); 'very definitely scary... builds tension slowly and cleverly and is ultimately a more rewarding read for it' (The Bookbag). HELL'S UNDERGROUND is Alan Gibbons at his best - a blend of the vivid, breathtaking fantasy (of the Legendeer stories, winner of the Blue Peter Book Award) and the gritty, urban realism of his Carnegie-shortlisted titles (such as The Edge and Caught in the Crossfire). Each volume timeslips back to a fascinating period of British history, familiar to readers through KS2 Curriculum links. Sales of Alan Gibbons' titles exceed half a million copies. Alan continues to draw legions of fans to events at festivals and in schools and is in demand the world over for his engaging personal appearances.

Media Reviews

I found the style both accessible and refreshing, it was both easy and compulsive to read... An absolute must for any reader' MR RIPLEY'S ENCHANTED BOOKS - BLOG Alan Gibbons is a skilled spinner of incredible yarns... There is so much colour, life and pace that readers will surely be caught up in this dark world. BOOKS FOR KEEPS
