Life gets dangerous when a kid discovers a vampire at an illegal circus in this fast-paced and creepy-crawly tale from bestselling author and master of horror, Darren Shan.
When Darren and his friends secretly score tickets to the terrifying Cirque Du Freak, they don’t expect the show to be as petrifying as the flier promised. If anything, it’s worse. A wonderfully eccentric cast of characters frightens the audience, but things get more insidious after the show when Darren oversees a confrontation that reveals one of the performers, Mr. Crepsley, is a real-life vampire.
Instead of staying far away from the horrifying truths he’s unearthed, as if by destiny, Darren is pulled to Mr. Crepsley. What follows is a spine-chilling descent into the dark and bloody world of vampires—but these monsters aren’t like anything you’ve seen before.
Get pulled into the nightmare in this first book of the fantastically bizarre and bestselling series Ciruqe Du Freak. NOT for the faint of heart.
