In The Vampire’s Assistant, Darren returns to the old-fashioned freak show where, thanks to Mr. Crespley, he became a “half-vampire.” Darren once again struggles against the urge to feed upon the human blood his health requires.

Darren Shan was born in London but at an early age he moved to Limerick, Ireland, with his parents and younger brother. He grew up watching old Dracula horror movies and reading spooky comics, which were the inspirations for this series.

Review by Sacramento Book Review for Cirque Du Freak: The Manga, Vol. 6: The Vampire Prince Rating: //Tunnels of Blood// is the final installment in the //Cirque Du Freak// series featuring the half-vampire assistant Darren Shan (yes, the author used his own name for the main character). Still grieving over the tragic death of one of his friends, Darren tries to find meaning in it by staying close to his master — the vampire Mr. Crepsley — and his other friend, Evra the snake boy. An old friend of Mr. Crepsley suddenly arrives and seeks his help to resolve a grave matter happening in another city. While in the big city, Darren discovers romantic love and develops a stronger friendship with Evra. His loyalty to Mr. Crepsley, on the other hand, gets shaky, and it might not be long before he ceases to be the vampire’s assistant.

Though fantastic in its setting, the story of this sequential art piece is universal and down-to-earth. Illustrations-wise, the panels are rich in lines and shadows but not too busy. Many of these panels can speak for themselves without the grounding of a text. Generally, this is a work satisfactorily suited for readers 12 years and above.
