Amazon.co.uk Review
Darren Shan seems like your average boy--he likes playing football with his mates, passing notes in class and loves spiders. Then, one day, his best mate Steve gets tickets for a banned freak show and Darren starts experiencing things that no average boy would dream of. At the Freak show he sees a limb-chewing wolf man, a woman who can grow a beard in front of your very eyes, a snake boy and a goat-eating tarantula called Madame Octa. But what about the mysterious people in blue-hooded robes whose faces you never see? And is Mr Crepsley really a vampire?

From the Author
VAMP IT UP IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM!!
We''re at the start of something big ... something dangerous ... something deadly. The Saga Of Darren Shan is going to take us places we''ve never been before, places of darkness and terror and doom. It''s going to introduce us to many strange and fascinating characters, some of whom are true and helpful, some of whom are deceitful and murderous. The difficulty will be telling them apart, because in the darkness it''s hard to spot the difference between good and evil. The world of Darren Shan is a harsh world, a testing world, a cruel world. It''s a place of poisonous spiders, savage wolf-men, insane killers; a domain of magical, powerful beings, of freak shows, of underworld tunnels and organisations. It''s a world where death stalks silently by the sides of every character - reaching out to snatch them whenever it chooses, in the blink of an eye, the beat of a heart, the baring of a set of teeth. CIRQUE DU FREAK is the start of the adventure. In it, an ordinary boy called Darren Shan steps through a doorway into a world of nightmares. I hope you step through with him - he''s going to need the support of loyal and honest friends in the lonely years ahead. We''re at the start of something big ... the path in front of us is long and bloody ... I don''t know if we''re ever going to make it back ...
