Cirque Du Freak
Opis
THE SAGA OF DARREN SHAN BOOK 1 Darren goes to a banned freak show with his
best mate Steve. It's the wonderfully gothic Cirque du Freak where weird,
frightening half human/half animals appear who interact terrifyingly with
the audience. Darren - a spider freak - lsquo;falls in love' with Madam
Octa - an enormous tarantala owned by the circus proprietor. Darren
determines to steal the spider so that he can train it to perform amazing
deeds. But his daring theft goes horrible wrong. The spider bites his best
mate and Darren has to sell his soul to an evil vampire to get the
antidote. Something out of the ordinary is set against the background of
children's normal lives to chilling effect. Atmospheric, funny, realistic,
moving and... terrifying.
