How To Read

This blog is for me to teach how to read. Now you might be thinking that if I am reading this blog then why would you have to teach me how to read. That is easily answered, I am not teaching you how to read just anything, no I am teaching you how to read one of these books. These can’t be read just like any other, they must be given justice to why they were written. They are meant to scare and gross out the reader, not to make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside (granted if you’re twisted like me, you might feel all warm and fuzzy inside when reading “Blood was dripping from the webs strung around my parent’s room and the smell of death was heavy in my lungs.” – excerpt from book 1 of Demonata, Lord Loss.) These books must be read at the darkest time of the night in the woods where it is pitch black and paranoia is gripping at your very soul. The only light is a small flash light you brought with you to see the letters on the page. Be alone in the dark so ever sound you hear will make you want to run, but you can’t run, no you must stay there and read. Read until you can’t take it anymore. That is how you read these books, that is how you give them justice. To not give these books justice would be an insult to the writer who had worked so hard to write these books. People complain too much that nothing is scary anymore well then you can’t expect a book or a movie to do all the work, you must help out and put your self into a scared mind set. One that will make you live the book, not just read it.

Welcome

                Darren Shan is an author of the book series Cirque Du Freak and Demonata. It is a horror genre made to creep and gross the readers out. In the Cirque Du Freak series there are a total of 12 books plus a spinoff book series and a graphic novel series. The Cirque Du Freak series is probably the best selling series Darren Shan has written so far. Demonata has only 10 books in it and isn’t as widely known.

                In my opinion Demonata was 10 times better then the Cirque Du Freak. I think the only reason the Cirque Du Freak is such a hit is because it’s about vampires and currently vampires are the now the thing everyone wants to know about. Darren recently started a new series which the first book is titled The Thin Executioner. I don’t know if that will be the series name or if it’s just the first book. Honestly I’m not even sure if it will be a series but I’m just guessing since all of his other books he has written that I know of have been a series. I have not had the pleasure of reading The Thin Executioner yet so I have no information that is not a guess as of now but I hope to have read it by the start of next week.

                The spinoff of Cirque Du Freak has only one book out so far since Darren has just started it and I have only read a couple of pages. The graphic novel I don’t know anything about nor will I anytime soon, I don’t read graphic novels all that much. Also I think the graphic novel is just the original story with pictures so you could be lazy and not have to read all of the details and just look at the pictures.
