Shawn
Shawn asked Darren Shan:

Remember the two sentence horror story you told on one of these? Is it possible you could continue that out to be a book? those two sentences made me shiver. I love your books. by the way, what types of books will you be coming out with soon? I'm running low on good titles.

Maryam
Maryam asked Darren Shan:

Hi Darren! I watched 'Jojos Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood' the other day and noticed some similarities between the ending of that arc (episode 9) and 'Ocean of Blood' - it made it SO much more emotional for me because I was reminded of OoB's ending. I was wondering if you'd ever watched the anime series/ read the manga? and if so, did they inspire OoB a bit? If not, it's just a bizarre (haha) parallel!! - Thanks
