Demon Dentist

Demon Dentist, the first volume in the Untitled series by David Walliams, is a hilariously creepy juvenile horror mystery. Alfie’s town is unsettled when the Tooth Fairy leaves not coins but dead slugs, live spiders, and other gross surprises under pillows. The culprit, Alfie suspects, is the new dentist, Miss Root, whose smile is as unnerving as her methods.

As Alfie digs deeper, the story weaves mystery, horror, and humor into a fast-paced narrative that explores friendship and the courage to face one’s fears. The Untitled series’ first installment delivers a satisfyingly shivery read without giving away its darkest twists.
