I'm a big Darren Shan fan and Lord Loss was the first book I read by him. It's marketed for children and young adults and written in a style that might turn off some older readers. However, it really should be in the young adult and older category--I wouldn't recommend this for Darren Shan's younger fans who discovered him via the Cirque du Freak books. Lord Loss is one of the most well-written and disturbing bad guys in modern Horror. The Gore Factor is high and the young hero has really been through a heart wrenching tragedy. May give young children nightmares.
That being said, my fiance and I are in our mid-30s and we love the Demonata series! Darren Shan offers a fresh, creative world. Both the Demonata and Cirque du Freak series are great.
