 * Plot summary**: //The Devouring//, by Simon Holt. A horror story about, The Fifteen-year-old girl Reggie who found the mysterious journal about the Vours, wicked creatures that inhabit children’s bodies on Sorry Night, the darkness of the winter solstice. Once inside a human, the Vour assumes the victim’s personality, banishing their soul to a dark netherworld called a "fears cape" where nightmares seem to come true.. this falls fairly low in terms of violence and mayhem. Much of the disturbing action takes place here. Frightening yes, I should know. But thought to be only the musings of an anonymous lunatic...until a midnight game awakens an ancient evil. To save the people she loves, Reggie must learn to survive in a world of nightmares. Can she devour her own fears before they devour her?"

What will happen to the book. Or better yet, what will happen to Reggie. Your going to have to read to find out more... (Evil laugh)

Shortly after graduating from the Royal Northern College of Music, Simon Holt was firmly established on the new music circuit with a series of commissions and fruitful collaborations with the London Sinfonietta and the Nash Ensemble. Influenced by Messiaen, Xenakis and Feldman as well as visual artists such as Goya, Giacometti and Brancusi, his music is complex, dramatic and often enigmatic. The intricate internal structures of his works are concealed by a seemingly impulsive nature. During the 1980s he worked primarily in complex sound worlds, while since the 1990s the dense textures have often been offset by Feldmanesque moments of calm, that Holt refers to as ‘still centres. He was born //1958. //

Social Issue Relevance: There were many social issues in "The Devouring". one of those many issues was Aaron getting bullied by these two mean, evil, cruel guys called the Kassern twins. (This just in!) We've just got news that bulling has been on the rise. Not just the nerds are getting bullied but even the normal kids. This has become an big issue and should be stopped. From what i hear right now, the cool kids are actually stepping in to stop bullies in their tracks. Lets go to a clip now! Woow that was intense. Bullying has no meaning to it, and should stop now. This has been Fried Chicken on channel zero news. []
