Cirque Du Freak By Darren Shan

A freak show was all that could change a life of a normal boy, Darren. It's kind of weird, a snake-boy, a wolf-man, and a performing spider. Darren was especially excited by the spider. Darren Shan and his two schoolmates are excited when their friend Steve comes across a flyer advertising the "Cirque Du Freak." The boys took their money to buy tickets, but only to purchase two tickets, so they play a game of chance to see who will go with Steve. Darren closes his eyes, and almost as if by magic, the ticket floats into his hand. Darren and Steve are mesmerized by the fantastic and disturbing show, but when they get caught up in a deadly trap Darren must make a deal with the only person who can save him, and that person is not human and only deals in blood. Long story short of a young boy's journey into a dark world of vampires. Filled with grotesque creatures, murderous vampires, and an unexpected ending, Cirque Du Freak will chill, thrill and leave readers begging for more!
