It had: A Bearded Lady, and a guy playing music on his ribs for example. The Cirque du Freak was what it was called and it was really cool. ![]() Darren ended up sneaking out to see it, but not sure what to expect. There were men and women with unusual and sometimes gross talents. His friend in school showed him a flyer of a Circus that was coming to town in the next few days. He now had no pet and his parents had said that he was never getting a pet ever again. Except that the TV spider came out alive. He saw this on TV and it looked hilarious.

It has Blood, Guts, Vampires, Killer Spiders, Poison and characters with oomph. It for boys and girls who love being terrified out of their wits. Personally I would love to give this book a 22 out of 10 mark. ![]()
