Darren is just your average schoolboy - or was, at least - until he and his friend Steve buy tickets to the outlawed, magical and macabre Cirque Du Freak. Packed with wonderfully grotesque characters - including a snake-boy, a wolf-man and, most exciting of all, an enormous performing spider - the boys are enchanted, fascinated and yet terrified by the show. Darren, a total spider freak, decides to steal and train Madam Octa - an enormous tarantala owned by Mr Crepsley, so that he can train it to perform amazing deeds. But his daring theft goes horribly wrong, and soon Darren is caught up in a web of terror from which he cannot escape - and finds himself forced to make a terrible bargain with a creature of the night.
