The Demon Road Trilogy: Demon Road, originally known simply as Demon Road, and internationally as The Demon Road Trilogy: Hell and Highway, is a horror-adventure-road trip novel published by HarperCollins on August 27, 2015.^[2] Written by Derek Landy and illustrated by Alan Clarke, the novel follows the journey of 16-year-old cursed demon girl Amber Lamont and her amnesiac guide Milo Sebastian, fleeing a family who wishes her dead, as they and passerby Glen travel the titular "demon road", on which exists all manner of supernatural beings from whom all horror fiction antagonist creators were subconsciously inspired by to create (primarily the villains of the works of Stephen King and 1980s slasher film villains in the first novel, from which Milo depicted as having been the "real" driver of Christine).

Originally receiving a nine-book order from HarperCollins, Landy elected to conclude the series after its first trilogy in 2016 with Desolation and American Monsters, deciding to use the remaining six-book order to launch a sequel series to his previous book series, Skulduggery Pleasant, established to be set in the same shared fictional multiverse as Demon Road via Easter eggs throughout the trilogy. Demon Road has received a mixed to positive critical reception.
