Written by Darren Shan. First U.S. edition, November 2006. Little, Brown and Company, Hachette Book Group.
"There's a genetic flaw in my family. Lots of my ancestors have turned into werewolves. It hits in your teens, if you're one of the unlucky ones. You lost your mind. Your body alters. You become a blood-crazed beast. And spend the rest of your life locked up in a cage - unless your relatives kill you. There's no cure. Except one. But that can be even worse than the curse."

"Lights... Camera ... Slawter!"
Grubbs Grady and his half-brother Bill-E are thrilled to join their uncle Dervish as on-set consultants for the newest movie by cult horror David A. Haym. Shot in a deserted town renamed Slawter, the demon-themed movie is to be Haym's masterpiece. But as strange incidents disrupt the set, Grubbs begins to wonder whether more than filming is afoot."
