About the Books
The Cirque Du Freak saga begins the night Darren Shan sneaks into a strange freak show and comes face to face with Mr. Crepsley, a centuries-old vampire, and Madam Octa, a deadly performing spider. A bargain to save his best friend's life pulls Darren into a world he never imagined, forcing him to leave his family behind and become Mr. Crepsley's assistant. Across these twelve books, Darren is initiated into vampire society at the remote stronghold of Vampire Mountain, endures brutal trials to earn his place among the clan, and is drawn deeper into a long war between the vampires and their rivals, the vampaneze. He travels through dangerous cities, forges a lasting friendship with the mysterious Harkat Mulds, and races against prophecy to stop the rise of the Vampaneze Lord before it is too late. Old allies become enemies, hidden secrets come to light, and the stakes shift from personal survival to the fate of two entire vampire civilizations. Darren Shan's saga blends dark humor, gothic atmosphere, and relentless pacing, exploring loyalty, sacrifice, and the loss of innocence as its young hero is forced to grow up fast in a world of immortals. This complete paperback set lets readers experience the entire arc, from freak show to final reckoning, in the order the story was always meant to be told.
