The Creeps by John Connolly, 321 pages
"In this clever and
quirky follow-up to The Gates and The Infernals , Samuel Johnson's life seems
to have finally settled down--after all, he's still got the company of his
faithful dachshund Boswell and his bumbling demon friend Nurd; he has foiled
the dreaded forces of darkness not once but twice; and he's now dating the
lovely Lucy Highmore. But things in the little English town of Biddlecombe
rarely run smoothly for long. Shadows are gathering in the skies; a black heart
of pure evil is bubbling with reven≥ and it rather looks as if the Multiverse
is about to come to an end, starting with Biddlecombe. When a new toy shop's
opening goes terrifyingly awry, Samuel must gather a ragtag band of dwarfs,
policemen, and very polite monsters to face down the greatest threat the
Multiverse has ever known, not to mention assorted vampires, a girl with an
unnatural fondness for spiders, and highly flammable unfriendly elves." The last book in the
series is my favorite, I think. This book made me laugh out loud and I
really liked the final wrap-up of the story. This was a great, humorous fantasy
series.
