When Darren and his friend Steve find a poster advertising the "Cirque Du Freak," they can't resist sneaking out of their houses in the middle of the night to see the show. The poster promises a chance to see "Sive and Seersa --- the twisting twins! The snake-boy! The wolf-man! Gertha Teeth! Larten Crepsley and his performing spider --- Madam Octa!" and more. The show turns out to be more terrifying than Darren could ever have guessed --- and it's only the beginning of the horror story Darren finds himself living.
After the show, Darren learns a frightening and troubling secret about Steve. Meanwhile, Darren can't stop thinking about Madam Octa, the tarantula who is the star of the Cirque Du Freak. Soon Darren makes a mistake for which he and Steve will pay a serious price. Darren will be called on to show his bravery and prove his loyalty to his friends and family as he faces a horrifying decision and makes a shocking choice.

Ohhh Cirque Du Freak By Darren Shan, is gotta be the best darkest book I ever read (not including Harry Potter).
Yes it may look childish, but it's a very good book.
In many ways you get attract by the darkness; it reveals about how a very young boy becomes a vampire and has to give up everything he loves.
You'll see him face many difficult challenges while in the series, that risk his life.
Not quite finish with the series yet, but already I'm loving it
Edit: Corrected the title.
