'Stephen King for kids … Darren Shan has brought his own brand of
vampire mythology into the heads and hearts of thousands of children
with his vivid and compelling series The Saga of Darren Shan, about one
boy's journey from ordinary lad to vampire prince. Once they're hooked,
kids tend to rip into the flesh of these books, quickly draining them of
their life blood. The covers, with images of ghouls, creeping hands and
dripping fangs are terrifying alone. ' Metro Life, Evening Standard
