The Saga of Darren Shan	comment	The Saga of Darren Shan is a 12-part Fantasy Horror series by Irish author... Darren Shan (a.k.a Darren O'Shaughnessy). It's very popular across the world, particularly in Taiwan and Japan, where it got a Manga adaptation in the magazine Shonen Sunday.The Saga follows a perfectly normal teenager in a perfectly normal town who after an unfortunate chain of events winds up faking his own death and living his life as a half-vampire assistant to the vampire Mr. Crepsley, who performs in a traveling circus. Hilarity and Nightmare Fuel ensues. The story starts off with the appearance of a Goosebumps-esque non-serial horror series, but then grows into a war involving the Vampires, who do not kill when they feed from humans, and the Vampaneze, who do kill. Cue violence, character development, time travel, and plot twists. Lots and lots of plot twists.The books in the Saga are: Cirque du Freak (A Living Nightmare in the US) The Vampire's Assistant Tunnels of Blood Vampire Mountain Trials of Death The Vampire Prince Hunters of the Dusk Allies of the Night Killers of the Dawn The Lake of Souls Lord of the Shadows Sons of DestinyThe only film was a critical and commercial failure, shelving plans for future films, but the author has hinted that another adaptation might be forthcoming.The same author has also written The Demonata series, which could be considered a Spiritual Successor of sorts; a series called Zom-B, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin; and a fantasy series called Archibald Lox. The Saga of Larten Crepsley is a prequel series concerning the life of Mr. Crepsley before Darren. The City Trilogy is his only adult series written under the same pseudonym, but he has written others under the name Darren Dash. Between these, he has over 50 books to his credit in less than 25 years.

She can choose whatever form she wants, and sometimes picks a beautiful one, but she prefers the form she first came into the world with. Her usual form is intended to be as ugly as possible.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_154aa477	type	Big, Screwed-Up Family
The Saga of Darren Shan / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Tiny "family". First Mr. Tiny created Mr. Tall and Evanna, by transfusing vampire blood into a pregnant she-wolf and casting some spell on it. Then about one and a half millennium later, he secretly fathered Darren and Steve with ordinary human women, creating two Anti Christs, whom he deliberately set up to a fight for survival. Steve, the paternal half-brother and Annie, the maternal half-sister of Darren, had a child when she was sixteen. Steve blooded the kid into half-Vampaneze when he was ten, and Darren was forced to re-blood him into a Vampire, so that he wouldn't have to kill when drinking blood. And finally at the end of the story Evanna is pregnant with twins, who are "genetically" one-third witch, one-third vampire, and one third vampaneze, and whose fathers are Vancha and Gannen, who are also brothers. And then we still didn't mention Mr. Tiny's "cousins", who are even eviler and more powerful than he is.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
The Saga of Darren Shan / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: In just about every book, there's a fight where, if the characters had even tried to talk to each other first, so much pain could have been avoided. Darren and Seba have a long conversation about this in book 6, after Darren witnesses (and kills in) his first real violent battle. But by the time he's grown up and been socialized as a vampire in book 7, he's forgotten all about it, and does the same thing he criticized the others for doing back then. On the other side, almost every book also has a very close aversion (subversion?) of this, where one character is trying to explain something to a second character, and the second (usually Larten or Darren) keeps shouting things like "How could you?" and "I won't let you do this!", but the first character tells them to shut up, and finally says their piece, and the second understands and feels sort of silly. The best example is probably the final scene of book 6.

While this is the traditional method, injection with syringes also works. A few days later the recipient will turn into a dhampyr or a full vampire depending on the amount of blood transfused.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_44fc28e8	comment	Honor Before Reason: The vampaneze have a complex Code of Honour which, among other things, forbids them from lying and allows them only to feed on humans who they have chosen through a ritual several days in advance. A vampaneze will never break this code, even when violently insane. The vampaneze code also prevents them from using projectile weapons. The vampires have a less restrictive one which just disallows guns and bows (shuriken are fine). Then the vampaneze start to raise an army of human soldiers who are exempt from their code (and can thus lie and use guns), to the outrage of the vampires and even many vampaneze. The vampires do this too. Let's see, a child failed the Trials of Death. We need to execute him, because no matter how much we don't want to, saying "Screw the Rules, I Make Them!" would be too dishonorable to everyone involved - So let's just elect the child to the council of all-powerful leaders. And that's only after he saved all of them from a treason plot.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_5d753b19	comment	The Smurfette Principle: A justified example. Darren spots only about three female vampires in contrast to the hundreds of males. Arra Sails explains that "women do not make good vampires" as becoming one makes them barren. The series itself initially plays this straight, with any prominent female characters (Annie Shan, Debbie Hemlock) only showing up for one book apiece. But more females get added as the series goes on.

However they really hate Vampaneze, and more than happy to battle them. Zig-zagged in Book 2 The Vampire's Assistant, when the Cirque du Freak's wolf man got loose and attacked Darren and his friend Sam. Darren tried very hard to fight it, but he was easily defeated, due to being severely weakened by his lengthy refusal to drink blood. Then Mr. Crepsley showed up in the last moment and effortlessly beat the wolf man so badly that Mr. Tall worried he had killed him. On that note, the chapter in The Vampire Prince where Darren feeds from the teat of a she-wolf heavily resembles the Roman Myth of Romulus and Remus.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_90f2fd8a	type	Grandfather Paradox
The Saga of Darren Shan / int_90f2fd8a	comment	Grandfather Paradox: The end leads into an endless paradox because the rule of Destiny is that if you kill someone, somebody else will take their place and do exactly as they would do (as an example, Evanna says that if you were to kill Hitler, somebody else would've taken his place and done exactly as he did.) If Darren goes through everything, and then goes back in time to stop the whole thing from happening to himself, he can't actually stop it from happening. Someone else will become an underaged half-vampire and go on all the exact adventures Darren did, possibly including eventually going back and stopping themself — though, since that was a favor from Des Tiny, it might be one that he would only grant once, and only to his son. Darren says that afterward you could read the books again and change all the names and it'd still be technically correct. Simply put, the fingers of fate may be interchangeable, but its hands must tick forever forward on Des Tiny's clock. However, there may actually be an end. Darren mentions something about believing whoever took his place would be taken to Paradise after the alternate fight with Steve, seeing as they had no choice in the matter, they were just following what Darren had set out for them. However, this is all speculation from a relatively young vampire, so he may be wrong. Then again, it also depends a lot on what Tiny created the Coffin of Fire to respond to. If it is set to pass someone with Tiny's DNA, then the cycle couldn't keep time so quickly - if Darren never left home, neither he nor Steve would have been tried in the Coffin of Fire, and there would be no Vampaneze Lord. If no Vampaneze Lord had been found, the Vampaneze wouldn't have started to strengthen themselves, and Kurda would not have been pushed into his last desperate roll of the dice to save both clans. And even if he were, would Tiny have sent a Little Person as a guardian for someone other than his secret son? Darren's replacement would likely die in the fight with the Blooded Boars.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_987dbb69	comment	Vampire Hunter: In the first half of the series, before the real war starts, the vampires all talk a lot about the threat of human vampire hunters — with stakes. They blame the vampires' low numbers in the present era (3,000 compared with hundreds of thousands in past millennia) on the actions of human vampire hunters. However, we never get to see any vampire hunters in the books. Might it be possible that the vampires' low numbers are more due to the fact that they think execution is the solution to every problem, and that it's a waste to care for the elderly and disabled? Steve says he was a vampire hunter, and that he's killed someone with a stake, and that it was horrible and ineffective. He ends his story by saying he's still a vampire hunter, but he only kills vampaneze. At least part of this story is a lie — Steve is a half-vampaneze by the time he tells it, but it's not clear whether or not he was ever a vampire hunter beforehand, or for how long. It could only have been between when Darius was conceived, since he was living in his hometown and dating Annie up until that point, and when he was found by the Coffin of Fire, some months at least before Kurda's trial (when this is revealed to the reader), the latter event is 9 1/2 years before the end of the series. Darius can't have been older than 12 years or so at that point, meaning Steve could only have been a vampire hunter for 2 or 3 years if at all...

A Wooden Stake through the heart kills them, but so do other weapons. They are not repelled by holy symbols or garlic and cannot turn into bats. Sunlight kills them, but only if they are exposed to it for hours.

They have no use for anyone who can't pass the Trials of Initiation (or as the title of book 5 calls them, Trials of Death), and their law against failure there is so strict that the only way to spare Darren from execution after he fails is to make him a Prince. Their attitudes towards gender equality are apparently just as backwards, and Arra Sails is one of the most hardline about these things precisely because she feels the need to prove herself.

When Darren has to undergo the Trials to prove himself, he has to go through a flooding maze with a huge rock shackled to him, cross a cave filled with very sharp and brittle stalagmites and stalactites which drop at the slightest noise, spend 15 minutes in a metal chamber which randomly shoots spurts of flame, and fight two massive, rabid wild boars. They note that due to his youth and being only a half vampire, they actually removed the most difficult tasks from the roster (although 'difficult' in this case refers to trials where a half-vampire would have been unable to compete on the same level as a full-vampire, so presumably cases where Darren would have explicitly needed to be faster or stronger than he is).

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_c93a6560	comment	Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In book 4, while taking a tour of Vampire Mountain with Kurda, Darren first sees the Hall of Death, the vampire clan's favored mode of execution. The vampire to be killed is strapped into a cage, raised above a pit of stakes, and dropped repeatedly until they are dead. It isn't just wrongdoers who are killed here, but also elderly and disabled vampires, who prefer to die rather than "let themselves" be taken care of; and those who fail challenges like the Trials are also executed here. After going so far to protect Darren from that fate, Kurda himself is executed there, only the seventh traitor to meet such a fate in the history of the vampires. The stakes appear in the dreams of Harkat Mulds, who must have realized that it was how he died. Steve Leopard, the Vampaneze Lord, creates a "Hall of Retribution" in the tunnels under the city, in imitation of the vampires' Hall of Death. The main difference is that his is on fire. After killing the decoy Lord on these stakes, Larten Crepsley then dies on them.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_dae24d7a	type	Recruit the Muggles
The Saga of Darren Shan / int_dae24d7a	comment	Recruit the Muggles: At one point in the conflict between the vampires and the vampanese, the vampanese begin recruiting human mercenaries they call "vampets". Vampires react to this as a war crime, as the vampets are not bound by traditional honour codes which forbid the use of guns, allowing them to mow down hordes of vampires with ease (previously vampires limited themselves to crossbows, while vampanese refused to use any form of ranged weapon at all). Eventually the vampires retaliate by establishing their own human corps called "vampirites".

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_dcbe8a6e	comment	Chekhov's Gunman: Played epically. Darren meets a seemingly irrelevant mook in the first book. By the last book, it reveals it was actually Darren from the future who had been turned into a small zombie creature and sent back in time to stop the whole series from existing. Harkat's early appearances also fit.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_e0aed924	type	No Antagonist
The Saga of Darren Shan / int_e0aed924	comment	No Antagonist: The first 8 books really have no Big Bad. Sure, book 3 has Murlough, but the real conflict is about Darren's growing to trust Mr. Crepsley. The ending of book 5 makes it seem like 4-6 have an antagonist, but 6 reveals that they were trying to save the vampire clan, not attack them. The shadow of the Vampaneze Lord hangs over 4-8, but it isn't until 9 that he begins to play an active role as such — and he doesn't appear at all in 10, meaning that a full 3/4 of the series fits this trope. You could say that Mr. Tiny is the real antagonist, since he's present all along, and he was manipulating everyone into fighting the whole time, but he's never the figure directly opposed by Darren.

This can make shoes difficult, and most vampires have to cut their toenails extremely short, or wear sandals.

Inverted in Steve's case who loathes Mr. Crepsley for refusing to blood him, and becoming his vampire dad.

The Saga of Darren Shan / int_e9475b38	comment	Vampire Procreation Limit: Turning a human into a vampire requires a blood transfusion through cutting the tips of the transfuser and transfusee's fingers and pressing them together so their blood can flow together. It's generally done at least twice, the first time producing a half-vampire. Also, vampires cannot reproduce sexually, even though they're not undead in this setting. Evanna was created by Mr. Tiny at the request of a vampire who wanted children.
