Query: Totally Amazing Book!

A Living Nightmare is the first book in the Cirque du Freak series, written by Darren Shan. The book tells of a spider-loving kid named Darren who, with his friend Steve, goes to see a freak show. Unfortunately Steve recognizes one of the performers: Mr. Crepsley is a vampire.After the show Steve visits Mr. Crepsley and begs him to transform Steve himself into one. Mr. Crepsley refuses, and says Steve has evil blood. Steve gets furious and leaves. Soon another unfortunate event occurs involving Mr. Crepsley. Darren steals the vampire's giant venomous spider, Madam Octa. When Steve visits Darren's house, the spider fataly bites him. The only chance to rescue his best friend is for Darren to beg Mr. Crepsley for the antidote...So Darren becomes Mr. Crepsley's assistant as a half-vampire for the antidote, and Darren's adventures begin here, continuing in the other books from the Cirque du Freak series... I HIGHLY recommend this book to any fantasy or horror fan... any age!
