Here’s what readers are saying about the PETER AND THE MONSTER series!

“The characters have a charm and depth of personality that I just couldn't get enough of. They seem to come to life, almost as though you'd recognize them if you met them on the street!” – Gina Hurteau-Jackson

“I started to read this series as blog posts, back in the early days of Darren's writing, and as much as I love the newer stuff as his writing style matured and deepened, I will always love the classics – and this is one of his greats.” – K. Lightle



Excerpt from Peter And The Vampires:


Mercy stayed at the window, her feet on the small slope of roof outside. She was bathed in soft light from the moon. Her face was the color of milk. Shadows filled her sockets, so that he couldn’t see her eyes.

“Peeeeteeeeeer, please let me in…I’m so thirsty. I wanted to see you so bad, Peeeeteeeeeer…let me in, I’m thirsty…”

Peter shook his head even more violently. He crouched down in the darkness and felt blindly for the flashlight because he could not take his eyes off of Mercy.

“PEEETEEEER.” Her voice was angry now. “You were mean to me, Peeeteeeeer. Don’t be mean again.”

Then her tone grew soothing.

“Let me in, and it will all be better…let me in, Peeeteeeer, and we can plaaaaaaay…”

Peter’s hand found the flashlight. He saw the beam appear on the opposite wall.

“PEEEEETEEEEEEER, LET ME IN.” She was banging on the window, her palms hitting the glass. “PEEEETEEEEEER, LET ME IN!”

He swung the light up to her face.

Now he could see her eyes.

They were black. All of it. No white, no blue part. Just black.

Like a shark’s.

Peter screamed again, long and loud and high-pitched.

Mercy screamed back at him, but it was more like a snarl. He could see her teeth, like small white pearls in her mouth – except for her two incisors, which were long and pointed.

Like a snake.

Like a vampire.
