With more than twenty-five million books sold in thirty-one different languages around the globe, it’s safe to call Darren Shan one of the world’s most popular authors of young adult horror fiction. Although Shan—whose real name is Darren O’Shaughnessy, and whose fans call him “The Master of Horror”—started his fiction career with a trilogy (called The City) for adults, it wasn’t until he wrote the first volume in his Cirque du Freak series (known in the U.K. as The Saga of Darren Shan) in 2000 that he became a publishing phenomenon. Shan followed up that twelve-book vampire saga with ten books in The Demonata series, and the stand-alone middle eastern-flavored dark fantasy The Thin Executioner. In 2012, he debuted his latest series, Zom-B, a tough, frequently gore-soaked tale of a young British antihero, B Smith, battling zombies, racism, and bullying. A projected twelve-book series with new volumes to be released every three months, the seventh installment, Zom-B Mission, is released this month. Shan lives in Ireland.
