Review:

Cirque Du Freak
“...fast-paced and compelling book which leaves the reader hungry for more.”
JK Rowling

‘Brilliant, macabre tale.’
Guardian

"I read Cirque Du Freak last week. I loved it. I love the way you manage to juggle the funny with the unpleasant, the affection with the hurt. It's
great story-telling."
Roddy Doyle

The Vampire’s Assistant
“The Vampire’s Assistant blazes a thrilling, gruesome trail through a fascinating plot.”
The Good Book Guide

Vampire Mountain
“Get your teeth into it!”
Funday Times

From the Author:

The Saga Of Darren Shan continues ...

Every 12 years, the Vampire Generals and Princes gather in a faraway mountain, for the Council of Vampires. This year, Darren Shan is going -- he might not be coming back ...

The road to Vampire Mountain is long and testing, but Mr Crepsley must present Darren to the Princes for their approval, and so the two leave the safety of the Cirque Du Freak and travel into the wilds, accompanied by a pair of Mr Tiny's Little People. They are joined along the way by an old friend, and some four-legged predators. If they survive the arduous trek to the mountain, Mr Crepsley will have to face the Princes and Generals and explain his reasons for blooding a child. If they prove unacceptable, the consequences for both Mr Crepsley and Darren could be dire ...

Set six years after Tunnels Of Blood, Book 4 of the Saga introduces many new characters; explains a lot about vampires, their history and ways; and also reveals the shocking truth about the mysterious Little People!

The story which starts in Book 4 continues in Book 5 (Trials Of Death) and concludes in Book 6 -- so be prepared for cliffhangers galore!
