Cirque Du Freak
Do you ever hear noises when you lay quietly in your bed at night, and when you ask your parents what it was they say it's the house settling. Well, if you're a true believer you'll know it's the series of Cirque Du Freak coming to life.
These books are about a young boy named Darren who makes a mistake that doesn't get him grounded, but dead. Well, undead technically. He was bitten by a vampire and is cursed to wonder the night, while being a vampire assistant. He is a half vampire himself and must follow the lead of his master, Mr. Crepsley, as they feed on the blood of our family and friends. They must worry of the sun and their evil vampeneze cousins who broke away from them hundreds of years ago. Darren and Mr.Crepsley will clash with vicious werewolves, travel through dim murky sewers, and climb treacherous mountains, which are infested with abnormal beings. Friendship, grief, and anguish are all heaved into these books. However, in the end only Darren will be able to decide his fate, human, or vampire. These books are recommended to all the children of the night, and it is guaranteed that Darren Shawn will have you on the edge of your coffin and wearing a scarf by the end of this bloodthirsty series. So readers beware, because you're in for a scare.

Cirque Du Freak Box 1
If you're curious how many books there are in this box set, there are 4 in total. I was trying to figure out myself, since the Box 2's description didn't really make sense to me.

Well, the books aren't the sizes you think you would get it. It is not the paperbacks that you can buy individually in store, but in fact, all of them have different covers. These paperbacks edition's covers aren't as pretty as the paperbacks/harcovers version. The front cover of each books can be see on the front cover of the box set. It is shown above.

The books seems to be a little smaller than the regular paperbacks. Maybe about 6 inches tall and maybe 4 inches across. Not sure since I am estimating by the look of it.

You are getting books 1: A living nightmare, book 2: the vampire's assistant, book 3: tunnel of blood, and book 4: vampire mountain.

I haven't open the books and I don't think I will ever will since I am buying it just for the collections. I already have the hardcovers, so I don't really need to.

It was smaller than what I expected......

books #1 and 2, cirque de freak
i recommend these books to any child who loves to read or who doesn't. my son literally has to be forced to read but once he read the first book he was hooked. he enjoyed them so much that i bought the box set for him!! the books held his interest and had enough of fantasy with the real world thrown in. besides, what kid isn't interested in monsters!
