Today Daniel is thrilled to be joined by one of Ireland’s most imaginative and fearless storytellers — the brilliant author Darren Shan.

Darren is best known for captivating readers all around the world with his darkly thrilling and wildly inventive tales — from "The Saga of Darren Shan" to "The Demonata" series. His books have sold over million copies and have been translated into dozens of languages, inspiring an entire generation of young readers to fall in love with the strange, the spooky and the spectacular.

Daniel met Darren once at a book signing as a child and it’s a full circle moment to get to speak to him as an adult. Darren has received several accolades over his impression and has had his work adapted into a feature film, with more adaptations in different stages of development.

On today’s episode, Darren talks about the origins of his love for horror and imagination, the journey from "Cirque du Freak" to the many worlds he’s created since, and how he continues to write stories that both chill and inspire.

Plus he’ll share his top tips for writers everywhere and give an insight into his writing routine.

All of this & more on today's episode of "Creatively Me".
