{"product_id":"9780008660659","title":"Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan","description":"A brand new 25th anniversary edition of the international bestselling phenomenon!          Darren is just your average schoolboy - or was, at least - until he and his friend Steve buy tickets to the outlawed, magical and macabre Cirque Du Freak. Packed with wonderfully grotesque characters - including a snake-boy, a wolf-man and, most exciting of all, an enormous performing spider - the boys are enchanted, fascinated and yet terrified by the show.             Darren, a total spider freak, decides to steal and train Madam Octa - an enormous tarantula owned by Mr Crepsley, so that he can train it to perform amazing deeds. But his daring theft goes horribly wrong, and soon Darren is caught up in a web of terror from which he cannot escape - and finds himself forced to make a terrible bargain with a creature of the night.          Atmospheric, funny, realistic, moving and terrifying, Cirque du Freak has been thrilling readers for twenty five years, and is now available in this stunning anniversary edition.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54911896519029,"sku":"9780008660659","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008660659.jpg?v=1736350705","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780008660659","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
