Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This is about the most loved character of the series, Darren Shan. In the first book "A Living Nightmare", Darren tells who, in his family, that he is going to Cirque Du Freak?

Answer: Annie Shan

He told Annie, his sister, that he is going to Cirque Du Freak and not to tell his parents. She promises not to. He tells her that he will bring her a souvenir from the Cirque.
He doesn't have a pet spider. He explains at the begin that he had a tarantula. But, he killed it by accident and that his parents wouldn't get him another.
2. Mr. Crepsley's real name is Vur Horston.

Answer: False

In the past he used that name. But, the name that he was born with is really Larten Crepsley. In the first book "A Living Nightmare", Steve tells him that he knows who he is and that he is a vampire. He says that he wants to join him. But, Mr. Crepsley refuses to make him a vampire because his blood is evil.
3. Again in the first book "A Living Nightmare", at the end of the book Steve Leopard carves what into the skin of his hand?

Answer: a cross

The others I made up. He carves a cross in his hand, kind of like a scar tattoo. He swears that he will kill Darren and Mr. Crepsley one day. He was right for the part of killing Darren. In the last book, "Sons Of Destiny", he does kill Darren. But, he also dies.
4. Does Evra Von have three kids?

Answer: Yes

He does have three kids: Shancus, Urcha and Lilia. Urcha, unlike the others, has no scales and feels like an outsider. Shancus Von is named after Darren and thinks that he is their godfather. Sadly, in the "Lord Of Shadows" Steve kills Shancus.
5. Who is the the contortionist from the Cirque Du Freak who is really skinny?

Answer: Alexander Ribs

Although, Sive and Seersa are contortionists, I was looking for the skinny Alexander Ribs who can play music by hitting his ribs. Jimmy Stretch was able to stretch and was a trickster. Yet, Evra told his story to Darren. Cormac Limbs can cut his limbs off and grow them back. In "Sons of Destiny" he got his head chopped off by R.V. His head grew back; actually he had two heads.
6. Gavner Purl, in the third book "Tunnels Of Blood", tries to sneak up on Darren and Larten.

Answer: True

True, he did try to sneak up on them. But Mr. Crepsley heard him from a mile away. Darren didn't hear him though. He was scared stiff when Gavner put a knife on their throats.
7. In the third book, "Tunnels Of Blood", what was the name of the crazy Vampaneze?

Answer: Murlough

They all went a little mad. Well, not Darius who is Steve's son. He was blooded but reblooded by Darren. Only Murlough was in this one. He, well how I see it, was the crazier. But, Steve comes close.
8. Who is a girl vampire?

Answer: Arra Sails

Only Arra was a vampire, Donna's and Debbie's mom. Alice was a police officer that Vancha kidnapped.
Darren did a game with him. A fight. He almost won.
9. Arra Sails was killed by a vampire friend of Kurda Smahlt's.

Answer: False

Yes, she was killed by a friend of Kurda's, but he wasn't a vampire but a vampaneze. He was killed by Darren. His name was Glalda; he was also the one who killed Gavner.
10. Who is the main character?

Answer: Darren Shan

Steve was Darren's friend. Though he is kind of a main character he isn't, he is a secondary one. Mr. Crepsley is the same, he is in mostly all of the books, but he, sadly, died. Tommy was Darren's friend and he became a professional goalie in soccer.
