Daemon Hall


"Is a contest worth dying for?"

Title: Daemon Hall
Author: Andrew Nance
Call Number: FIC NAN

I picked up this horror story when Ike took the lights out a my house. It does make it a lot scarier to read the book in total darkness from a flashlight!

Famous horror author, Ian Tremblin is holding the contest of a lifetime. Five writing finalists are chosen to spend the night with Ian in the haunted Daemon Hall. The winner of the best horror story during the night will have their own short story published. However, things soon go wrong when the contest is no longer about who can write the best story but who can survive the night in Daemon Hall.

Summary from the book:
"Nothing exciting ever happens in the town of Maplewood—that is, until famous thriller writer Ian Tremblin holds a short-story writing contest with a prize that seems to be the opportunity of a lifetime: five finalists will get to spend the evening with Tremblin himself in the haunted mansion Daemon Hall, and the winner of the best short story will see publication.

Wade Reilly and the other finalists could never have imagined what they find lurking in the shadows of this demonic mansion. During a suspenseful night of tale-telling, strange incidents mix the realms of the real and the supernatural. What is Tremblin really up to, and can he be trusted? What about Daemon Hall—is it alive? And, more to the point, will any of the contestants make it out of this hall of horrors to tell their story?"


If you are a fan of R.L. Stein's Fear Street or Goosebumps series then you'll enjoy this book!
