Recensioner i media

“His writing is slick, his dialogue sharp and clever, his plotting immaculate. His books ooze with the kind of creepy, dark atmosphere and powerful characters that young teenage readers lap up. Shan is honing his craft with every book, and I look forward to the next gore-fest with relish.”Irish Independent“Forget Stephen King, this author's the master of scaring children.” The Big Issue in Scotland“A tantalising start to the series and a must-read for Darren Shan fans.”Books QuarterlyPraise for Cirque Du Freak:“…fast-paced and compelling book …full of satisfyingly macabre touches…which leaves the reader hungry for more.”JK Rowling“Brilliant, macabre tale.”Guardian"I read Cirque Du Freak last week. I loved it. I love the way you manage to juggle the funny with the unpleasant, the affection with the hurt. It's great story-telling."Roddy DoylePraise for The Vampire’s Assistant:“The Vampire’s Assistant blazes a thrilling, gruesome trail through a fascinating plot.”The Good Book GuidePraise for Vampire Mountain:“Get your teeth into it!”Funday Times
