Birth of a Killer by Darren Shan
Before Cirque Du Freak.Before the war with the vampaneze. Before he was a vampire. Larten Crepsley was a boy.As a child laborer many centuries ago, Larten Crepsley did his job well and without complaint, until the day the foreman killed his cousin as an example to the other children.
In that moment, young Larten flew into a rage that the foreman wouldn't survive. Forced to live on the run, Larten now sleeps in crypts and eats cobwebs to get by. And when a vampire named Seba offers him protection and training as a vampire's assistant, Larten agrees. This is his story.
I was born in London in 1972 and relocated to Ireland at the age of six, where I have resided ever since. I've always wanted to be a writer, and I've always enjoyed telling stories. I started off writing adult books and had a number of them published. I decided to try a children's book on a whim one day. Cirque Du Freak was born as a result.
It took off, much to my surprise, and I became a de facto children's author! I enjoy viewing movies while I am not working or traveling. I've even been known to read a book or two.- Darren ShanDarren is presently working on the fifth installment of his terrifying Demonata series, which will be released in Autumn 2007.
