Darren Shan in conversation at Waterstones Piccadilly

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the international bestselling phenomenon Cirque du Freak with Darren Shan at Waterstones Piccadilly. Atmospheric, funny, realistic, moving and terrifying, Cirque du Freak has been thrilling readers for twenty five years, and is now available in a stunning anniversary edition.

Darren Shan is the number-one best-selling author of the series The Saga of Darren Shan, the Demonata and more recently the Saga of Larten Crepsley and Zom-B. His books have been read by millions of people around the world and translated into more than 25 languages. Darren lives in seclusion in the depths of Ireland. He is a big film buff, and also loves theatre, comics and books, and collecting art. He loves dreaming up new ways to terrify his readers, but never drinks blood. Or so he claims.

Please note: Book and ticket option includes a 25th anniversary edition of Cirque du Freak (RRP. £7.99) available for collection on the night.
