The amazing manga retelling of Darren Shan's international best-selling vampire saga, with illustrations by Japanese artist Takahiro Arai. Darren Shan is just an ordinary schoolboy - until he gets an invitation to visit the Cirque du Freak...until he meets Madame Octa...until he comes face-to-face with a creature of the night! Soon Darren is caught up in a web of terror from which he cannot escape, with his best friend's life hanging by the finest of threads. Darren must make a bargain to save Steve, but the only one that can help is not human and only deals in blood...The stunning illustrations and manga format give a new dimension to this ever-popular vampire saga, available for the first time in translation in the UK. This will be a must-have for Shan fans and manga aficionados alike.

If you have been reading the series keep reading, but brace yourself for book #6 and #9
This is series is a fast-paced thriller. I love how Darren Shan is able to keep the suspense for the length of all the books. It is one of my favorite series!

This is the Best books EVER
I read all twelve of the books. They were amazing. I could not stop reading them! They were so amazing. I probably stayed up really late.
owmygawd this is the beesssttt bok ever (actually, not really, i like a bunch of others) but its still good. but if u really dont like scary things, dont read it. but it's not SOO scary, just creepy but cool scary. i still recommend (considering that i only read the comic book, but it's literally the same things, except more..... graph. how do i know? i read a few chapters. it's literally the same words.)
if u like lots of action and suspense then you should read this but read in order or u wont get it
A great series if you like vampires and action! I have read the entire series and couldn't put the books down!
