With that in mind, I started plotting out the second book. My vague thoughts were that Darren and Mr Crepsley would wander from one location to another, having run-ins with various types of monsters. I knew that book 1 would be open-ended, leaving me with the possibility of writing another few books, but I didn’t have any clear series plans in mind. I didn't know when I wrote Cirque Du Freak that this was going to be such a long series. Will he resist the temptation of blood and sacrifice himself for the benefit of his humanity - or will some awful turn of events lead to his becoming a true, blood-sucking creature of the night? Author Notes:The Vampire's Assistant was published on May 30th, 2000. While Mr Crepsley argues with him, and tries forcing him to drink, Darren grows weaker and weaker. He refuses to drink human blood, even though he'll die without it. Darren soon fits into his new position - even if he doesn't exactly enjoy hunting food for the ominous Little People! - and he and Evra befriend a curious young boy called Sam Grest, whose one great wish is to join the travelling freak show.īut all is not well with Darren. In an attempt to give Darren a sense of stability, Mr Crepsley takes him to live at the Cirque Du Freak, where he is to share a tent with Evra Von - the Snake Boy introduced in Book 1. But the change is difficult and the loneliness is crushing. Having abandoned his old way of life to unwillingly serve as Mr Crepsley's assistant, Darren must accustom himself to the habits of vampires.
