Maryam asked Darren Shan:

Hi Darren! I watched 'Jojos Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood' the other day and noticed some similarities between the ending of that arc (episode 9) and 'Ocean of Blood' - it made it SO much more emotional for me because I was reminded of OoB's ending. I was wondering if you'd ever watched the anime series/ read the manga? and if so, did they inspire OoB a bit? If not, it's just a bizarre (haha) parallel!! - Thanks

Darren Shan Hi Maryam,

No, I haven’t read that - hadn’t actually even heard of it until your post! 😂 Just a coincidence… or DesTiny!!!

Best,

Darren

Hi! In my country, Colombia, I can't find your books in Spanish, does no Latin American publisher have the rights?

Sean asked Darren Shan:

Hey Darren, I remember reading many of your books when I was younger, and spending hours reading about the adventures you created. I was just wondering how many hours you would prescribe a writer to write each day to master their skills?

Angelica Guzmán asked Darren Shan:

Why are there so many different cover arts for the cirque du freak series? I would like a specific one from my childhood but I dont know how to differentiate between them while searching...
