Description
Cirque du Freak
The
chilling Saga of Darren Shan, the ordinary schoolboy plunged into the
vampire world. THE SAGA OF DARREN SHAN BOOK 1 Darren goes to a banned
freak show with his best mate Steve. It’s the wonderfully gothic Cirque
Du Freak where weird, frightening half human/half animals appear who
interact terrifyingly with the audience. Darren — a spider freak —
‘falls in love’ with Madam Octa — an enormous tarantala owned by Mr
Crepsley. Darren determines to steal the spider so that he can train it
to perform amazing deeds. But his daring theft goes horribly wrong and
Darren finds himself having to make a bargain with a creature of the
night. Something out of the ordinary is set against the background of
children’s normal lives to chilling effect. Atmospheric, funny,
realistic, moving and! terrifying.
The Vampire’s Assistant
Darren
Shan has been made a half-vampire by Mr Crepsley, but the Cirque Du
Freak holds more unpleasant surprises for the vampire’s assistant. THE
SAGA OF DARREN SHAN BOOK 2 Darren joins the vampire, Mr Crepsley, as his
assistant and they return to the Cirque Du Freak. There, Darren makes
friends with the snake-boy, Evra Von (who knows what Darren is) and a
local boy, Sam, and RV, an eco-warrior and animal lover (who do not).
Darren begins to enjoy his life among the Cirque performers as the
youngest half-vampire in existence, but he defiantly refuses to drink
human blood — the whole idea sickens him — and he tries desperately to
cling on to the part of him which is human. Darren comes face to face
with pure evil in the form of Mr Tiny, the leader of the Little People
who join the Cirque Du Freak, and who eat anything — including human
flesh. When he discovers animal bones, RV frees the wolf-man from his
cage — and no-one could possibly guess how truly terrible the whole
effect would be.

Tiny. Gavner Purl makes a welcome return when he joins Darren and Mr
