Charles Dickens is probably the best-known and, to many people, the
greatest English novelist of the nineteenth century. Since its
publication in 1843, "A Christmas Carol" has been adapted for film,
television, and the stage, proving that Dickens's characters and
themes continue to captivate generation after generation.
Following the massive success of the Demonata series, Darren Shan
is back where it all started - telling the life story of the
vampire Larten Crepsley. Spanning centuries and continents, taking
in sea voyages, murder, war and love, this is the epic, bloodsoaked
tale of a vampire who started out a nobody...and ended up changing
the world forever. When Larten escapes the terrible workhouse in
which he toils, he doesn't know that he is running from an early
death...into another kind of transformation. After meeting the
mysterious vampire Seba Nile while sheltering for the night in a
crypt, Larten finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of the
vampire Clan. As he travels and learns, Larten finds himself
enjoying the adventure he has always dreamed of, seeing a world
beyond any he suspected in his poverty-stricken youth. But Larten
begins to discover something else, too. Much like death, becoming a
vampire is something you can't come back from...

The dark night was strangely quiet. The moon had disappeared behind
the clouds, and there were absolutely no sounds. Not just quiet,
but total silence. Then the lonesome cry of a whippoorwill broke
the silence. Or was it really a whippoorwill!
A strange ghost-like figure appears during the night as the
twins and their cousin are camping in the Ozark Mountains above
Moore's Lake near Heber Springs, Arkansas. Akiela, the last of a
mysterious tribe of Native Americans, has come to warn the young
adventurers about evil men in the area of the lake. He seems to be
able to appear and disappear at will. He is very tall, and pale,
almost deathlike...his long white hair flowing to his narrow
shoulders. His eyes burn with agitation and displeasure at what is
happening to his beloved mountains.
