Ninth in the New York Times–bestselling series "guaranteed to gross out anyone" from the YA master of horror and author of the Cirque Du Freak novels (School Library Journal). I know it's ridiculous. Lights can't whisper. But I swear I heard a voice calling to me. It sounded like static to begin with, but then it came into focus, a single word repeated over and over. Softly, slyly, seductively, insistently. "Come . . ." The Disciples are being manipulated by beings older than time. Only Kernel Fleck knows that something is wrong. But he is in the grip of a creature who cares nothing for the fate of humanity. Voices are calling to him from the darkness and he's powerless to resist. Kernel has already been to hell and back. Now he's about to go further . . .  Praise for the Demonata series "Readers who devour Shan's Cirque Du Freak books will be snapping like werewolves themselves to get this book." —VOYA "The pace is non-stop, keeping the reader turning pages at a breathtaking rate." —Kirkus Reviews "Gross as well as engrossing . . . Horror fans will eat it up." —Kliatt
