As long as you’re breathing, your story’s still going.

Why you should read Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan, aka the best vampire series of all time:

The freak show is like home. You will feel at home among the freaks. You will fall in love with the snake people and selkies and superhumans that live in the freak show and you will loathe the fact that you don't live with them

Surprisingly serious storyline considering its a book series for 10 year olds. Very efficient at killing off main characters, very good at handling death, very good at showcasing the grief of the survivors

The vampires live in a society modeled on warrior cultures, including, but not limited to, vikings, maasai, and samurais. They live to be strong warriors, and would rather die an honorable death than live in shame - which is cool, I guess, but the way the author portrays it is hilarious, because they literally just spend their eternal life sparring with each other and practicing the sexy sexy art of wrestling

Father/son found family that will tug at your heart strings

Well-handled plot twists all throughout the series. Twists that may completely surprise you at times, but make perfect sense on a reread

The author has a habit of suddenly introducing time travel at the end of his book series, but he never does it to actually solve any problems, or as a deus ex machina, he only does it because he seemingly has an obsession with time travel and wants to include it for no good reason. And it's used in very original ways and somehow it just works. And this series is no exception.

Did I mention all the stupid sexy vampires who fight shirtless for no reason other than "honor!!!1"

I was so obsessed with this book series in middle school that my mom told the librarians at the school and our local libraries to ban me from checking it out. Now I own it. No one can stop me from reading it now. I've been meaning to reread it but it's tangled up in my head with the desire to beat my "record" for how fast I read it the first time where I read all 12 books in 7 days and it only took me *that* long because the school library wouldn't let me check out more than two books at a time. This is based on a scene at the end of the first book.
