To celebrate the release of Volume 6 (the FINAL volume!!) of the Cirque Du Freak manga omnibus, I'm running a competition with SIX signed, dated copies of VOLUME 4 up for grabs -- this collects books 7 and 8 of the series. I signed and dated these on the 9th of November, 2021 -- the day the Volume 4 omnibus was released. If you want a chance to be one of the lucky six winners, read on...

1) Answer this question: "On what date was the Volume 4 omnibus released?"

2) Send your entry to: [email protected]

3) Put your NAME in the SUBJECT BOX when you send your e-mail. Please make sure you also 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, Tuesday, May 17th, 2022.

(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 Wednesday, May 18th, 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 shared by me with any other individual or company.

(10) My decision will be final.

Good luck!!!!
