A brand new 25th anniversary edition of the international bestselling phenomenon!

Darren is just your average schoolboy – or was, at least – until he and his friend Steve buy tickets to the outlawed, magical and macabre Cirque Du Freak. Packed with wonderfully grotesque characters – including a snake-boy, a wolf-man and, most exciting of all, an enormous performing spider – the boys are enchanted, fascinated and yet terrified by the show.

Darren, a total spider freak, decides to steal and train Madam Octa – an enormous tarantula owned by Mr Crepsley, so that he can train it to perform amazing deeds. But his daring theft goes horribly wrong, and soon Darren is caught up in a web of terror from which he cannot escape – and finds himself forced to make a terrible bargain with a creature of the night…

Atmospheric, funny, realistic, moving and terrifying, Cirque du Freak has been thrilling readers for twenty five years, and is now available in this stunning anniversary edition.

Darren Shan is the number-one best-selling author of the series THE SAGA OF DARREN SHAN, the DEMONATA and more recently the SAGA OF LARTEN CREPSLEY and ZOM-B. His books have been read by millions of people around the world and translated into more than 25 languages. Darren lives in seclusion in the depths of Ireland. He is a big film buff, and also loves theatre, comics and books, and collecting art. He loves dreaming up new ways to terrify his readers, but never drinks blood. Or so he claims.
