My newest book, Archibald Lox and the Forgotten Crypt, was reviewed by The Literary Connoissuer recently, who had a lot to say about it, including the following snippets:

"As someone who's been a fan of his stories for the better half of twenty-five years, I will say with full disclosure that Archibald Lox does not disappoint... Darren Shan spins a chilling tale of wonder, enchantment, and intrigue, and leaves us bewildered and breathlessly reaching for the next book... While reuniting us with beloved characters, and setting us on a new, treacherous mission, Archibald Lox and the Forgotten Crypt is sure to ensnare, mesmerize, and astound readers of all ages."

I couldn't have asked for much more of a positive recommendation than that!!! It's great when a reader reacts to one of your books that way, especially if that reader is someone who's been a fan for many years and is familiar with your work. Pleasing readers who are new to your worlds is tricky enough, but finding ways to keep your writing fresh and exciting for people who've read 30... 40... or more than 50 of your books... well, I don't want to brag, but I think reviews like this prove that there's life in the old Shan dog yet!!!! :-) :-) :-)
