Nixonmat asked Darren Shan:

Which series of your's is your favorite?

Darren Shan I don't have a favourite series, but The Demonata is the one I'm proudest of, as it's the one that challenged me the most and pushed me the furthest.

Dara Byrne
Dara Byrne asked Darren Shan:

How did the "choking" fans pose for taking pictures come about? I found some old photos from at the latest 15 years ago and had to ask. also thanks for all the little notes you would write while signing the books, completely ruined the resale value! but it evokes some damn vivid memories when leafing through the collection.

A Goodreads user

First of all, I'd like to say I absolutely LOVE your books. I was wondering who do you think is the strongest being in all your young adult books? Is it Mr.Tiny and his family or the Kah-Gash?Or some one else?

Where did you get the idea for Cirque Du Freak, and how much of the Darren Shan character is based on yourself?
