Cirque Du Freak: A Living Nightmare
Overview & Summary
Teenager Darren Shan sneaks into a secret, illegal freak show with his best friend and becomes entranced by a vampire performer's trained spider, setting off a chain of events that forces Darren into an impossible bargain: become a vampire's assistant himself, or let his friend die from a spider bite. The first book in a long-running horror-fantasy series, it launches Darren into a dark supernatural world where he must give up his old life entirely.
