I guess you could say that it's a horror fantasy story but I really have never found any book frightening...Exciting or gross yes but not scary :D I think that Darren Shan has written a fascinating story about very different kind of vampires that are more real and less shiny and romantic. As a movie it could even be scary for me (who wouldn't find spiders, rough vampires and other monsters scary?). Some of the storyline was a bit predictable but I did not mind it as some of my predictions did not come alive and thus were a nice surprise.
NB! Shan kills his characters quite often, so beware of getting too attached to them, you could bawl your eyes out like that :)

I think this was the first trilogy of the series I bought brand new.

Reading it was an absolute delight. I enjoyed this trilogy a lot, however it wasn't my favorite out of the series. But I remember treating this book like my baby, so worried about cracking the spines or creasing pages

Books I've read and provided detailed reviews over the years but all data is lost after accidental deletion and GD refuse to restore it back.

Adding books back to my library for my own reference and tracking purposes
