DARREN SHAN RULES
Category: No Category
This is one of the MOST amazing book series. Written for teens it equals Harry Potter in excitement but is a bit more dark. It is the story of how one boy accidentally becomes a vampire. I think there is about 12 books in the series and they are all quite small and you can easily read one in about 4 or 5 hours. I was obsessed when they came out and recently sold the entire collection for a few hundred bucks. But now me is pissed because they are making the movie!!
The movie will star John C Reilly, Josh Hutcherson, Chris Massoglia and Patrick Fugit. I cannot wait for this!! Bring on my Harry replacement
It is filled with fantastical tales and characters and hopefully has been made properly and will kick serious butt!
Young Darren Shan has been fascinated by spiders from an early age. His best friend, Steve "Leopard" Leonard has grown up reading horror comics and stories of the Wolfman and vampires.
One day, their other friend Alan comes across a flyer advertising the "Cirque Du Freak" and eagerly shows it to Darren, Steve, and Tommy. All the boys wanted to go. Each flyer could only get two tickets, however, so they play a game of chance to see who will go with Steve, which Darren wins.
Darren and Steve are mesmerized by the fantastic and disturbing show, especially by the act of the mysterious Mr. Crepsley and his giant spider Madam Octa. After witnessing a confrontation between Steve and Mr. Crepsley after the show in which Steve declares the latter to be a vampire, Darren sets his sight on Madam Octa, planning to steal her and use his knowledge of Mr. Crepsley's true nature to his full advantage.
Darren's plan succeeds, and after a few weeks of training Madam Octa, he is fully comfortable with having it in his bedroom, using Mr. Crepsley's flute as an excuse for privacy. During this time, he grows more and more detached from Steve due to overhearing Mr. Crepsley calling him evil and deeming him unsuitable to become a vampire's assistant. Steve figures out that Darren lied to him and witnessed what he did, but still chooses to be friends with him.
One day while Steve is at Darren's house playing with Madam Octa, Darren's younger sister Annie barges into his room unknowingly and shocks him, causing him to drop the flute and lose control over the spider, which bites and fatally wounds Steve.
Steve's only hope for survival is if Darren makes a deal with Mr. Crepsley to become his assistant and pay off the cost of the spider antidote. Steve lives, but Darren is turned into a half-vampire and is thrust into the dark world of the vampires. In order to successfully free Darren of all previous bonds, including family, Mr. Crepsley helps his to-be apprentice fake his own death by numbing Darren's entire body, breaking his neck, and throwing him out of his bedroom window, perfectly simulating a fatal fall. Following the events of Darren's human body's funeral, Mr. Crepsley returns and digs Darren up.

If you are interested they have just released the first book in the Larton Crepsley sagas. Should be interested and as soon as I finish reading The Power of Six (awesome book series) then I will give this one a read.
Have a good day!
