My March COMPETITION closes to entries at 11:59pm UK time TONIGHT!! If you haven't yet entered, read on quickly and get in your entry ASAP...

I'm running a COMPETITION this month with SIX signed, dated copies of VOLUME 3 of the Cirque Du Freak manga omnibus up for grabs -- this collects books 5 and 6 of the series. I signed and dated these on the 27th July, 2021 -- the book's international release day. I only signed TEN of these in total on that date. I'm keeping two for myself. I'll give another two away at some point in the future (probably as part of a complete set). And the other six are the prizes in this competition. I think these are VERY cool prizes, so if you want a chance to be one of the lucky six winners, read on...

1) Answer this question: "Which two books of the series does the Volume 3 omnibus collect?" (I'm just looking for the numbers of the books, although if you want to provide the names instead, that will be acceptable too.)

2) Send your entry to: [email protected]

3) Put your NAME in the SUBJECT BOX when you send your e-mail. Make sure you INCLUDE YOUR FULL POSTAL ADDRESS in the body of the e-mail, as well as the answer, so that I can easily send your prize to you if you win

(4) Closing date is 11.59pm UK time, Thursday, March 10th, 2022. (TONIGHT!!!!!!)

(5) This competition is open to fans everywhere in the world, unless you work for one of my publishers or are one of my relations.

(6) You can only enter the competition ONCE. If you try to enter more than once, ALL of your entries will be disqualified.

(7) Only one entry per household -- if you send in more than one entry, ALL of your entries will be rejected. If more than one person in a house wants to enter, you'll need to make a joint entry.

(8) The draw for the winners will be made on or after Friday, March 11th, 2022. It will be a completely random draw, made by Darren Shan personally (I use an online number generator to pick the winners). I will try to notify the winners by e-mail, and will post their names in the Shanville Monthly, and on Facebook and my blog too.

(9) Information submitted by entrants WILL NOT be held or stored by me, or shared by me with any other individual or company.

(10) My decision will be final.
