Table of contents

They are about getting away from the true horrors of what people are prepared to do to one another. Born Darren O'Shaughnessy, he spent his early years in London before moving to his family's native Ireland when he was six. At the age of 14 he bought his first typewriter and he wrote his debut novel three years later. He still churns out three books a year and his young fans can't get enough of his blood and guts. Darren said: "The kids always ask me to put more gore in my books - they're a bloodthirsty lot. But they don't fully realise the consequences of the horror.

I try to address that. I have all these over-the-top bloodthirsty themes, but I'm not interested in just grossing readers out. I want them to think about what happens next. The man who has spent his career writing about the supernatural is yet to have a real-life spooky experience of his own. He said: "I keep an open mind. I like to believe the world is a more interesting place if vampires do exist.

But I'd rather meet a vampire than someone like Tobin. How long did you work on this book? I worked on Birth of a Killer for more than three years! But I was actually toying around with ideas for it at least two or three years earlier than that! That sort of time frame isn't unusual for me.

Although I release at least two books every year, I spend an average of two to three years working on every one of them. I'm able to juggle several books around at the same time. To give you an idea of how I work, I wrote the first draft of Birth in January I then left it alone for several months and went and wrote the first drafts of the next three books in The Saga Of Larten Crepsley. Then I returned to the first book and edited it.

I then edited the next three. I then left the books alone for a few more months and worked on something else. Then I returned, did another edit of the books, and so on and so on for the next couple of years. It might sound chaotic, but it works for me! How was your journey to publication?

February 8, 2020

Long, short, how many rejections? Loads of rejections! I don't think you can really enjoy your success as a writer if you haven't been widely rejected to begin with! My first published book for children, Cirque Du Freak, was actually turned down by twenty different publishers before it was accepted! You have to take rejection on the chin, believe in yourself, and just keep going. If every writer gave up at their first few rejection slips, I don't think there would be any books on the shelves in bookstores across the world!

What advice would you most like to pass along to other writers? The most important thing is to write. It's like training yourself to play a sport -- let's take soccer as an example. You can watch lots of soccer games, analyse tactics, spend months or years formulating a game plan inside your head. But it's all meaningless unless you go out on a pitch and train and develop your muscles and skills. A soccer player has to put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes before they can earn the right to go out and play a 90 minute match. Writing's the same.

Understanding the theory of writing -- i. You need to experiment, try different types of stories, test out different approaches. Don't be afraid to write bad stories. It's a learning process. You need to make mistakes in order to learn from them and advance. What has surprised you most about becoming a published author?

One of the most surprising things has been the success of my stories in different countries. When I started out, I had no idea that people in Japan and Indonesia and Hungary and the Netherlands and Taiwan and so many other countries might be interested in the imagination of a young guy from rural Ireland.

As my books have grown in popularity across the globe, and as I've travelled widely and met lots of my fans, I've come to realise that despite the trappings of our culture, we're all very much the same under the surface. We react to stories in the same way. We have the same dreams and aspirations and fears and hopes.

I think books are a great way for people to come together, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. They can over-ride all sorts of other obstacles and sometimes bridge massive gaps. For instance, while I've no love for the current Iranian political regime, my books are published in Iran albeit illegally! Those sorts of connections -- the meetings of minds through a shared love of books -- are priceless in my opinion. He was a year old vampire with a troubled past.

When we first found him, he had cut himself off from the vampire clan and turned his back on the bloodsuckers who had been his only family for more than two centuries. He was a lonely, isolated figure. After I'd finished writing The Saga Of Darren Shan, I found myself thinking a lot about Larten and what his life must have been like, and what had happened to drive him so deeply into the shadows of the night.

Over the course of a few years his story began to fall into place, and it was even darker and more tragic than I had guessed! Q: How many books are to come and what can we expect from subsequent instalments? There will be four books in total, so three more are on their way.

The books cover most of the two hundred years of his life. The second, Oceans Of Blood , takes us through the latter half of the nineteenth century, as Larten struggles to adapt to his life as a creature of the night. The third covers the early years of the twentieth century, and sees him come of age and cement his place in the vampire clan.

The fourth brings us up to the present, and in that one we get to travel with Larten through the darkest, most wretched years of his life, as everything falls apart around him and destiny leads him into a terrible, lonely place Q: The series takes place over more than a century, how did you go about writing over such a long time span? It was difficult! There had to be a main storyline, a narrative thread that would run through all four books and link them tightly together. I didn't want it to read like a series of short stories, so I focused on his family and those who were closest to him.

The Saga of Darren Shan worked so well, I think, because of the focus it had on relationships, e. Once I had sorted out the relationships, the rest of the series fell into place around them. Q: Tell us what makes your vampires different from some of the other fictional vampires out there! Well, my vampires are REAL vampires!!!

My Video Tape/VHS/DVD Collection Part 6

Seriously, I've tried to come at vampires from a completely different angle. I didn't want to go down the whole Dracula route although we do get to meet a certain Bram Stoker in this series! So I took as my starting point that vampires were people who had to drink blood to survive, could only come out at night, and lived for hundreds of years -- but, crucially, they did not become monsters when they changed. I figured that such a secret society of centuries-old vampires would be organised in a similar fashion to human warrior tribes like the Samurai, the Celts or the Masai Mara.

So I created a tribe of hard-living warriors who place a lot of emphasis on pride and courage and fighting prowess.

My absolute favourite single book of mine is The Thin Executioner. It's the book I feel closest to, the one I poured more of myself into than normal. Salem's Lot by Stephen King was a brilliant reworking of the original Dracula story, and the book that more than any other set me on my way to becoming a horror author. Q: Are you working on anything else at the moment? I'm working hard on the second half of The Saga of Larten Crepsley, but even though that's not finished, I'm also working on a new series, but I can't say anything about it just yet, because I'd have to feed you to a demon if you found out!!

The first two books can be read independently of each other, as they are stand-alone stories which are set at the same time. The first, Procession of the Dead, is about a young man who comes to a mysterious city to become a gangster. How different was it for you, switching from a focus on young readers to adults? Any difference to your writing style or technique?

I read that it took over 14 years for the final version of the story to come about! How much of it changed throughout the years and editing? Well… yes and no!! Yes, I have a couple of books lined up and ready to go. One has a fantasy element; one is a straight-up thriller. Some critics lazily rounded on it and dismissed it as a Twilight rip-off, despite the fact that it had been greenlighted long before the first Twilight film was ever released! In a way, the current vampire craze worked against it — I think it might have fared better if it had been released a couple of years earlier or later.

Oh well, the great thing about movies is that time is the ultimate deciding factor. Many films do well at the box office, then pass from memory.
