Arra Sails essay
Arra Sails remains one of the most popular characters from my Cirque Du Freak books, even though she didn't have a lot of page time in the series. She actually was never planned to be as important a character as she turned out to be -- she just took on a life of her own as I was writing the Vampire Mountain books, and ended up forcing herself into the story. It's always a pleasure when that happen

Demonata is really good.
I wish to write like you,later !! ^___^
i'm going to read zom-B i hope to like it too
as iranian says:دوست دارم
-Your #1 Shanster!!!!!!
I wouldn't call D. Shan a horror author. No offense- he's an amazing writer and I love his Cirque Du Freak and Demonata series. However, he's not really a horror author to me. More like fiction, fantasy. Stephen King, Edgar A. Poe, and Seth Graham-Smith- they're horror authors, and they are masters. Shan IS scary- but not horror genre scary.
^^^^^^^^ again! ^_^
LIVING for April and September for 'Brothers to the Death' and the first Zom-B book. SO excited!! :D xxxx
