From the Master of Horror comes the first gripping book in the
twelve book New York Times bestselling Saga of Darren Shan. Start
the tale from the beginning in the book that inspired the feature
film The Vampire's Assistant and petrified devoted fans worldwide.
A young boy named Darren Shan and his best friend, Steve, get
tickets to the Cirque Du Freak, a wonderfully gothic freak show
featuring weird, frightening half human/half animals who interact
terrifyingly with the audience. In the midst of the excitement,
true terror raises its head when Steve recognizes that one of the
performers-- Mr. Crepsley-- is a vampire! Stever remains after the
show finishes to confront the vampire-- but his motives are
surprising! In the shadows of a crumbling theater, a horrified
Darren eavesdrops on his friend and the vampire, and is witness to
a monstrous, disturbing plea. As if by destiny, Darren is pulled to
Mr. Crepsley and what follows is his horrifying descent into the
dark and bloody world of vampires. This is the beginning of
Darren's story.
