A Goodreads user asked Darren Shan:

Hey! I'm 14 and I have read all your books at least 3 times in English, French and my native language(Persian) since I was only 8! But right now I'm looking for new books to read and I know it's not really nice to ask an author for another author but I was wondering do you know any other authors that have the same writing style/genre as you or any series that are like your series(More specifically Cirque Du Freak)?
