Darren Shan Knihy

Medzi upírmi a upirátmi vypukla vojna, ktorá sa má podľa proroctva skončiť úplným vyhladením upírov. Lenže aj budúcnosť, zdá sa, poslúcha tajomného Oscara Suda. Oscar Sud, ktorého sa boja upíri i upiráti, teraz prichádza a odhaľuje ďalšie mrazivé tajomstvo. A Darren Shan, ktorý dostal titul upírskeho kniežaťa, prijíma nebezpečnú misiu – ak ju splní, upíri sa možno zachránia. Lovci súmraku sa vydávajú po stopách zlovestného Pána upirátov, ktorého nik z nich ešte nevidel.

Šieste pokračovanie hororových príbehov o poloupírovi Darrenovi Shanovi. Pri nemilosrdných skúškach spôsobilosti stať sa plnohodnotným upírom si Darren myslel, že už ho nič horšie nemôže stretnúť. Do Upírskej hory však prenikli nepriateľskí upiráti, aby naplnili proroctvo príchodu Pána upirátov. Schyľuje sa k smrtiacej bitke. Ani v tejto zúfalej situácii sa však Darren nevzdá a urobí všetko preto, aby odvrátil skazu upírieho klanu.

Výstraha: príbeh tínedžera Grubbsa Gradyho naozaj nie je pre slabé povahy. Keby si Grubbs Grady mohol vybrať, prežíval by celkom iný život. On však nemá na výber. Narodil sa do zvláštnej rodiny, ktorej osudom je bojovať s temnotou. Veľmi často v tom boji Gradyovci strácajú svojich členov. Grubbs Grady nikdy nemal rád šach, hru, do ktorej ho nútili rodičia. Až teraz, keď je na svete takmer celkom sám, zisťuje, že obyčajná šachovnica môže byť bránou k najstrašnejšiemu zlu.

V piatom hororovom príbehu Darren Shan podstúpi na základe rozhodnutia upírích kniežat päť skúšok, ktoré nie sú jednoduché ani pre dospelých upírov. Ak zlyhá, odvedú ho do Siene smrti.

Lovci súmraku pokračujú v pátraní po Pánovi upirátov. Darren sa voľky-nevoľky musí vrátiť do školy a čeliť svojej minulosti. Nemá to ľahké, v porovnaní s normálnymi ľuďmi totiž starne omnoho pomalšie, takže stále vyzerá na pätnásť rokov. Upírske knieža a zabijak upirátov tak musí znovu zasadnúť do školskej lavice. No Darrena netrápi len škola – čakajú ho známe tváre, smrť člena klanu, zápas s lovcom upírov a krvilačnými upirátmi. Spojenci noci sa musia opäť zjednotiť! Lov pokračuje!

Druhé pokračovanie úspešnej série Demonata, na ktorú už netrpezlivo čakajú fanúšikovia Lorda Zarmuta. Kernel je tínedžer so zvláštnym nadaním – vidí vo vzduchu farebné svetlá, a keď sa sústredí, dokáže z nich poskladať rôzne tvary. Jedného dňa však zo svetiel vytvorí okno, vyskočí z neho démon a vtiahne ho do inej dimenzie... Kernel sa síce vráti do vlastného sveta, no vôbec si nepamätá, čo sa vlastne stalo. Spolu s ním však zmizol aj jeho mladší brat, ktorého zrejme uniesol démon. Život celej rodiny je ohrozený, nepomôže ani to, keď sa presťahujú do iného mesta. Kernel pomaly objavuje svoje schopnosti a zisťuje, že jeho poslaním je loviť zákerných démonov.

Darren Shan je obyčajný chlapec, ktorý chodí do školy, baví ho futbal a komiksy. Jeho život sa však dramaticky zmení, keď sa raz s kamarátom Stevom dostane na utajené predstavenie Cirkusu Monsterus, v ktorom účinkujú podivuhodné výtvory prírody ako napríklad vlčí muž, bradatá žena alebo strašná pavúčica. Príjemné zimomriavky sa menia na nebezpečné dobrodružstvo, keď sa Darren a Steve ocitnú v pasci, z ktorej sa dá vykúpiť len dohodou s upírom.

Darren Shan odišiel zo svojho mesta a od svojej rodiny s upírom, ktorý vystupuje v Cirkuse Monsterus pod pseudonymom pán Crepsley. Stal sa jeho učňom a pomocníkom. Je z neho polovičný upír, no nechce piť ľudskú krv, prijíma iba zvieraciu, pretože chce čo najdlhšie zostať aspoň čiastočne človekom. Podarí sa mu vyhnúť temnému osudu a zostať súčasťou sveta ľudí? Alebo prevládne tá časť z neho, ktorú si podrobil pán Crepsley?

Tretí diel úspešnej upírskej ságy, v ktorom Darren Shan odchádza z Cirkusu Monsterus, kde sa začal jeho trpký život polovičného upíra. Spolu s pánom Crepsleym, svojím upírskym „rodičom“, a s Evrom Vonom, najlepším kamarátom, sa usadí v meste. A chvíľu to vyzerá, že život sa dostal do normálnych koľají. Darren sa dokonca zaľúbi... Ale potom sa v starom dome nájdu mŕtve telá – zbavené aj poslednej kvapky krvi. Polícia vyšetruje vraždy a Darren s Evrom rozbiehajú pátranie na vlastnú päsť. Nočné potulky pána Crepsleyho sú im totiž čoraz podozrivejšie... Kto je vrah? A kto je pre Darrena najväčšou hrozbou?

Vo štvrtom dieli upírskej ságy pokračujú desivé dobrodružstvá mladého polovičného upíra Darrena Shana. Darren spolu s pánom Crepsleym, ktorý je jeho upírskym učiteľom, opúšťa už dôverne známe prostredie cirkusu Monsterus a vydáva sa na nebezpečnú cestu priamo do stredu upírskeho sveta. Darren má predstúpiť pred upírsku radu, ktorá každých dvanásť rokov zasadá na tajomnej Upírskej hore. Ako sa na Upírskej hore rozhodne o jeho osude? Darren má po prvý raz možnosť zblízka spoznať fascinujúci život upírskeho klanu, no zaplatí za to krvavú daň...
