About this ebook

There is a universe beyond our own, known as the Merge.

 

A young locksmith called Archibald Lox is about to cross worlds and explore it.

 

As he learns about these lands of wonders, he will have to face cold-blooded killers, rivers of blood, hell jackals and more...

 

Book one of the Archibald Lox series, by Darren Shan, the New York Times bestselling YA author of Cirque Du Freak and Lord Loss.

 

 

"A brisk, entertaining tale that unfolds in a wonderfully bizarre world." Kirkus.

 

"A masterwork of atmospheric writing." Readers' Favorite.

 

"Shan has created an alternative world that is extraordinary and imaginative with fantastical creatures that both delight and horrify. A soon-to-be fantasy classic." The US Review of Books.

 

"A gripping saga that will be appreciated not just by young adult audiences, but by adults who enjoy other strong YA authors who create fantasy worlds appealing to young and old alike." Midwest Book Review.

 

"Archibald Lox and the Bridge Between Worlds is a perfect middle grade book. I couldn't put it down and read it in almost one sitting. For grabbing my attention from the very first page and making me excited about a series for the first time in ages, I give it a superb five out of five stars." Addicted to Media.

 

"Inventive and imaginative with plenty of jeopardy - as satisfying a read as we've come to expect from Darren Shan. " The Bookbag.

 

"Filled with fantastic characters, true to form description, and Shan's distinct writing style, Archibald Lox is sure to enthrall readers of all ages." The Haunted Wordsmith.

 

"I believe that the Archibald Lox series has the potential to be the author's best work since The Saga of Darren Shan, it has the magical, dream-like overtones of Lewis Carroll's Alice books and the captivating, world-hopping drama of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. I can't recommend it highly enough, perfect for fantasy fans of all ages." Books, Films & Random Lunacy.

 

"High fantasy that allows you to step away from the real world and into a vivid space of wonder." The Reading Corner For All.

 

"Perfect for fans of adventurous fantasy stories!" Mind of Luxe.

 

"I loved everything about the story, and can't wait to see how it continues!" Rajiv's Reviews.

Author

Darren Shan

Darren's real name is Darren O'Shaughnessy. He was born on July 2, 1972, in London, but is Irish (despite the strong Cockney accent that he has never lost) and has spent most of his life in Limerick in Ireland, where he now lives with his wife and children. Darren went to school in Limerick, then studied Sociology and English at Roehampton University in London. He worked for a cable television company in Limerick for a couple of years, before setting up as a full-time writer at the age of 23. He has been an incredibly prolific and globally successful author, publishing more than 60 books in just over 25 years, and selling more than 30 million copies worldwide. A big film buff, with a collection of nearly five thousand movies on DVD, Darren also reads lots of books and comics, and likes to study and collect original artwork, especially comic art, modern art, and sculptures. Other interests include long walks, going to soccer matches (he's a Tottenham Hotspur and Ireland fan), listening to pop and rock music and going to lots of concerts, theatre, worldwide travel, sampling the delights of both gourmet cuisine and finger-licking junk food, and dreaming up new ways to entertain his readers!
