Publisher Description
The chilling Saga of Darren Shan, the ordinary schoolboy plunged into the vampire world.
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 tarantula 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.

I love the Darren Shan series. I haven't actually baught the e-book but i have bought the actual novels. I'm currently up to the last book now and i only too my almost 2 months to finish it all. But out of all the books, i really enjoyed this book. This was actually one of the first books i actually read. Aside from the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. LOVE THIS BOOK and LOVE DARREN SHAN
