Shan, Darren / Escritor
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.
