Dark Calling

Dark Calling is the ninth installment in Darren Shan's The Demonata series. It is due to be released in the UK and Ireland in May 2009. It is confirmed by Darren Shan on his personal blog that the narrator of the book will be Kernel.[1]

This book starts with Kernel fighting Spine in Demon Apocalypse, when Spine makes Kernel blind. Then, a while later, Beranabus (with Grubbs(in the past)casts a spell that numbs Kernels pain.

Kernel then thinks he's in a heaven dimension as it's just him, Beranabus, Grubbs, and a girl (Bec), drifting through endless windows. Then he finds himself on Earth, blind, but evidently in pain. He discovers that Spine left maggots in his eyesockets. He then discovers that him, Grubbs and Bec linked up as the Kah-Gash and travelled back in time. It then cuts to him blindly fighting Spine in the cave, when Bec, having "recycled" Bill-E's body, melts him. She drives Lord Loss back to his own world.
