Tunnels of Blood

Shan, Darren. Tunnels of Blood. Book 3 of the Cirque du Freak Series. 2000. 224p. ISBN 978-0-316-60608-0. Available at FIC SHA on the library shelves.




When a vampire general brings unsettling news to Mr. Crepsley, Darren’s life changes for the worse. On the move again, Darren is thankfully joined by Evra Von, the Snake Boy, and they find lodging in a small hotel on a city square. Mr. Crepsley disappears for nights at a time, so the two boys are left alone to explore the city.


At first, Evra and Darren enjoy being outside and watching television. Evra had never before seen a television, much less a program on one, so the novelty is exciting. But as life becomes routine, Darren wants more. He meets Debbie, who also lives on the square, and suddenly the two of them are in love.


Eventually the boys decide to follow Mr. Crepsley to discover what he is up to. That’s when they encounter Murlough, a blood-thirsty vampanese who has been hunting humans in Crepsley’s city. And now, Darren and Evra become Murlough’s targets. Can they save themselves and their loved ones from the vampanese’s clutches?

The story continues in book 4, Vampire Mountain.
