Title: Tunnels Of Blood (saga Of Darren Shan): Description:
'Fast paced and compelling, full of satisfying macabre touches -- Cirque du Freak explores the powerful fascination of the dangerous and unnatural and also, movingly, the obligations of friendship.'

While he sneaks off at night on some mysterious errand or other, Darren and Evra enjoy themselves, taking life easy and watching lots of TV.

But fate is cruel where Darren Shan's concerned, and when dead bodies are discovered by the police -- drained of blood -- the finger of blame points in one direction only, and Darren sets out to put a stop to the vampire who blooded him, by the most brutal means necessary ...The third book in The Saga Of Darren Shan takes us away from the Cirque Du Freak, and introduces us to a new place, a dark place, a place of terror, where monsters roam beneath the streets and terrible deals must be struck. To save his friends, Darren must brave the perils of the Tunnels Of Blood and enter a demon's lair. Take the plunge this November and walk with him into the blood-stained darkness ... if you dare! Excerpted from Tunnels of Blood (The Saga of Darren Shan) by Darren Shan. Copyright © 2000. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. THE SMELL of blood is sickening. Hundreds of carcasses hang from silver hooks, stiff, shiny with frosty blood. I know they’re just animals - cows, pigs, sheep - but I keep thinking they’re human. I take a careful step forward. Powerful overhead lights mean it’s bright as day. I have to tread easily. Hide behind the dead animals. Move slowly. The floor’s slippery with water and blood, which makes progress even trickier. Ahead, I spot him ... the vampire ... Mr Crepsley. He’s moving as quietly as I am, eyes focused on the fat man a little way ahead. The fat man. He’s why I’m here in this ice-cold abattoir. He’s the human Mr Crepsley intends to kill. He’s the man I have to save. The fat man pauses and checks one of the hanging slabs of meat. His cheeks are chubby and red. He’s wearing clear plastic gloves. He pats the dead animal - the squeaky noise of the hook as the carcass swings sets my teeth on edge - then begins whistling. He starts to walk again. Mr Crepsley follows. So do I. Evra is somewhere far behind. I left him outside. No point the two of us risking our lives. I pick up speed, moving slowly closer. Neither knows I’m here. If everything works out as planned, they won’t know, not until Mr Crepsley makes his move. Not until I’m forced to act. The fat man stops again. Bends to examine something. I take a quick step back, afraid he’ll spot me but then I see Mr Crepsley closing in. Damn! No time to hide. If this is the moment he’s chosen to attack, I have to get nearer. I sprint forward several metres, risking being heard. Luckily Mr Crepsley is entirely focused on the fat man. I’m only three or four metres behind the vampire now. I bring up the long butcher’s knife which I’ve been holding down by my side. My eyes are glued to Mr Crepsley. I won’t act until he does - I’ll give him every chance to prove my terrible suspicions wrong - but the second I see him tensing to spring... I take a firmer grip on the knife. I’ve been practising my swipe all day. I know the exact point I want to hit. One quick cut across Mr Crepsley’s throat and that’ll be that. No more vampire. One more carcass to add to the pile. Long seconds slip by. I don’t dare look to see what the fat man is studying. Is he never going to rise? Then it happens. The fat man struggles to his feet. Mr Crepsley hisses. He gets ready to lunge. I position the knife and steady my nerves. The fat man’s on his feet now. He hears something. Looks up at the ceiling - wrong way, fool! - as Mr Crepsley leaps. As the vampire jumps, so do I, screeching loudly, slashing at him with the knife, determined to kill...
