PRAISE FOR ARCHIBALD LOX AND THE SLIDES OF BON REPELL

"Some trademark Darren Shan jeopardy in this instalment. We were on the edge of our seats!" The Bookbag.

"While I love this whole series, so far this book is my favorite." Kelly Smith Reviews.

"I could not put the book down -- reading in such short bursts I'd pace around my kitchen, book in hand, chewing the inside of my bottom lip with nerves. This series truly showcases Darren Shan's abilities as a writer." The Literary Connoisseur.

"The Slides of Bon Repell is the best instalment to the series yet." Rachel Hobbs, author of Shadow-Stained.

"I read quite a lot during lockdown but nothing made me smile quite as much as these first three instalments in the Archibald Lox series." The Bookbag.

"A brisk, entertaining tale that unfolds in a wonderfully bizarre world." Kirkus.

Autorenporträt

Darren's real name is Darren O'Shaughnessy. He was born on July 2, 1972, in London, but is Irish (despite the strong Cockney accent that he has never lost) and has spent most of his life in Limerick in Ireland, where he now lives with his wife and children.

Darren went to school in Limerick, then studied Sociology and English at Roehampton University in London. He worked for a cable television company in Limerick for a couple of years, before setting up as a full-time writer at the age of 23. He has been an incredibly prolific and globally successful author, publishing more than 60 books in just over 25 years, and selling more than 30 million copies worldwide.

A big film buff, with a collection of nearly five thousand movies on DVD, Darren also reads lots of books and comics, and likes to study and collect original artwork, especially comic art, modern art, and sculptures. Other interests include long walks, going to soccer matches (he's a Tottenham Hotspur and Ireland fan), listening to pop and rock music and going to lots of concerts, theatre, worldwide travel, sampling the delights of both gourmet cuisine and finger-licking junk food, and dreaming up new ways to entertain his readers!
