Cirque Du Freak
“…fast-paced and compelling book which leaves the reader hungry for more.” JK Rowling
"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
Product Description
The nightmare begins… Vampire Blood trilogy comprising: Cirque Du Freak, The Vampire’s Assistant and Tunnels of Blood. Join Darren Shan’s descent into the darkness.
CIRQUE DU FREAK
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. After he sees the amazing performing spider, Madam Octa, Darren is determined to steal her. But his daring theft goes horribly wrong. The spider bites Steve and Darren has to sell his soul to an evil vampire to get the antidote.
THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT
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.
TUNNELS OF BLOOD
When Mr Crepsley is called upon by the Vampire Generals, Darren and the snake-boy, Evra Von, leave the Cirque Du Freak and travel with him to the city. Whilst there, Darren meets Debbie and his life as a Vampire’s Assistant fades into the background – until corpes are found. Corpses drained of blood… Suspicious of Mr Crepsley’s secretive bahaviour, Darren and Evra shadow him across the city and confront a creature of the night who may be the end of them all…

Format:Paperback
This is not one of the books with slow and boring action. It keeps you tense till the end. You will fly through the 500 pages in The Vampire Blood trilogy really quickly.
During the first book, Cirque Du Freak, Darren Shan becomes a half vampire to save his friends life.
During the second, Darren Joins the Cirque Du Freak and tries to save his friend Sam from a Dangerous Wolf Man
During the Third, Darren and Mr. Crespley leave Cirque Du Freak and go to a city where Mr. Crespley tries to hunt down a vampaneze, a vampire who kills to drink blood. (Vampires just drink enough for them to survive and do not kill the person by draining all their blood)
The Darren Shan Trilogy 1, THe Vampire Blood Trilogy is a good buy and is a bargain, considering the price and the fact that in one book it has the first three Darren Shan Stories.

I used to never read at all until a freind showed me 'Cirque Du Freak' and since I`ve been reading these books over and over again and can`t stop buying the books as soon as they come out, I must have read all of Darren Shans horror books at least 5 times and I`ve only had them for around half a year! So if you have a son who doesent read all that much, I would honestly recomend Darren shans horror books, very few of my freinds read but since we`ve discovered these amazing books we can`t get stop reading!

Dont judge the book by the film
I read the books first obviously because im strongly of the opinion that films tend to ruin the masterpiece of writing. And the film of Cirque du Freak certainly did! Read more
