In the third instalment in the creepy, captivating Larten Crepsley series, Larten finds out what it means to love! but is he also damned to find out what it means to lose? Lost in the arctic waste, carrying a baby whose love he could never deserve, Larten faces the darkest time he has ever known. But hope has a way of shining through even the smallest of cracks, and just as Larten reaches the end, a new beginning presents itself. The trouble is, for Larten, the violence of his youth is never far from the surface! and those he loves are the ones he hurts the most. As Larten experiences heaven and hell, and tries to save the soul of a child, the question is: can he save his own?

Praise for Cirque Du Freak: !fast-paced and compelling book ! full of satisfyingly macabre touches!which leaves the reader hungry for more. JK Rowling Brilliant, macabre tale. Guardian I read Cirque Du Freak last week. I loved it. I love the way you manage to juggle the funny with the unpleasant, the affection with the hurt. It's great story-telling. Roddy Doyle Praise for The Vampire's Assistant: The Vampire's Assistant blazes a thrilling, gruesome trail through a fascinating plot.
