Böcker av Darren Shan

The first part of the chilling Saga of Darren Shan, the ordinary schoolboy plunged into the vampire world.

Darren Shan has been made a half-vampire by Mr Crepsley, but the Cirque Du Freak holds more unpleasant surprises for the vampire's assistant.

All is lost, but the plans of mad tyrants never die, and if Archie is to save his friends, he's told he must make the most monumental of sacrifices. As he desperately searches for a way to outwit the demons who hold him in their clutches, he must also struggle to finally come to an understanding of the strange demon he carries within. Everything is on the line, and Archie's choices will decide not just his own future, but the destiny of the Merge... The ninth and final book of the Archibald Lox series by Darren Shan, the New York Times bestselling author of Cirque Du Freak and Lord Loss. This is the third of three books in VOLUME THREE - the final volume - of the series. PRAISE FOR ARCHIBALD LOX AND THE LEGION OF THE LOST "Shan has created a far-reaching multiverse that boggles and beguiles, with characters that cannot fail to endear or revile. Beneath its simple, straightforward narrative is a deceptively complex, immersive experience that captivates the reader in a way only a master storyteller can." The British Fantasy Society. "This book is a masterpiece, the very epitome of the phrase, 'saving the best for last'." The Literary Connoissuer. "This final book in the series had everything. Tension, gore, heartache, deep soul-searching, laughs, adventure and an ending that will stay with you long after reading the last word." T. Higgs Reviews. "Book nine is packed full of punches and twists. I was left with my mind reeling and my heart full in a heavy, satisfying sort of way." Rachel Hobbs, author of Shadow-Stained. "One of my favourite things about Darren Shan is you can never predict what's going to happen next. Loose ends from previous books were cleared up in ways I'd never even considered. Now that I'm finished, I'm feeling pretty lost." This Dream's Alive. PRAISE FOR VOLUME ONE"A brisk, entertaining tale that unfolds in a wonderfully bizarre world." Kirkus. "I read quite a lot during lockdown but nothing made me smile quite as much as these first three instalments in the Archibald Lox series." The Bookbag. "Shan has created an alternative world that is extraordinary and imaginative with fantastical creatures that both delight and horrify. A soon-to-be fantasy classic." The US Review of Books. "A gripping saga that will be appreciated not just by young adult audiences, but by adults who enjoy other strong YA authors who create fantasy worlds appealing to young and old alike." Midwest Book Review. "A perfect middle grade book. I couldn't put it down and read it in almost one sitting. I give it a superb five out of five stars." Addicted to Media. "High fantasy that allows you to step away from the real world and into a vivid space of wonder." The Reading Corner For All.PRAISE FOR VOLUME TWO"Archibald Lox is sure to ensnare, mesmerize, and astound readers of all ages." The Literary Connoisseur. "Shan has built an ambitiously original fantasy world populated with fully rounded characters who take us on unforgettably compelling journeys." Books, Films & Random Lunacy. "The first three books were unlike anything I'd read before, and book 4 truly proves that Shan is a master storyteller." Kelly Smith Reviews. "Tension! Drama! Badassery! Volume two of Archibald Lox has it all." Rachel Hobbs, author of Shadow-Stained.

When an old friend shuffles off their mortal coil, Archie travels to New York for the funeral, and from there to the Merge, to do some work with his mentor, Winston. In a realm of waterless canals and upside-down pyramids, he patiently teaches royals how to open a portal to the ancient Crypt, and learns some more of the Merge's many secrets. But when a day trip to a beautiful cenote goes terrifyingly awry, it looks as if Archie's story might have come to the end of its line... Book seven of the Archibald Lox series by Darren Shan, the New York Times bestselling author of Cirque Du Freak and Lord Loss. This is the first of three books in VOLUME THREE - the final volume - of the series. PRAISE FOR ARCHIBALD LOX AND THE SINKHOLE TO HELL "Book 7 brings smiles, chuckles, gasps, burns and frustrations. Cirque Du Freak will always be my favorite Shan series, but Archibald Lox is certainly giving it a run for the title." The Word Cubby. "Archibald Lox and the Sinkhole to Hell is an emotional, thrilling, and wondrous tale of friendship, adventure, self-discovery, and loyalty prevailing over corruption." The Literary Connoisseur.

When Archie finds himself trapped in a claustrophobic zone from which there seems to be no escape, he's thrown a lifeline by the most unlikely of allies. A showdown with a troubled royal ends in chaos and betrayal, and Archie is abducted and imprisoned in a cold, forgotten area of the Merge. With a collection of fellow locksmiths, Archie is set to work on an apparently unpickable lock, but if he manages to do what no other Lox has achieved, he might also seal his doom...
