Following instructions from the spirit of an executed witch, eleven-year-old Cinder de la Doom parts the veil between worlds and inadvertently conjures shadowy creatures hellbent on death and destruction. Unleashed upon an unsuspecting population, the bloodthirsty demons know that to secure their reign, they must destroy the only person capable of closing the portal which let them through...the person who opened it to begin with. Armed only with her wits and a rudimentary knowledge of the occult, Cinder must somehow not only survive the night, but also find a way to send the Shadow Fiends back to the hell which spawned them.Dedicated to everyone whose inner child may have spent a little time in reform school, Cinder de la Doom Summons the Shadow Fiends is a bedtime story for adults from the dark-fiction author who "never lets up" (Publisher's Weekly).
