Darren Dash is the self-publishing alter-ego of multi-million selling author, Darren Shan. Under the Darren Dash moniker he has written and self-published two books that have garnered rave reviews for their unbridled imagination and creativity. The Evil and the Pure is a dark and violent tale that is definitely not for the faint of heart. The cover design featuring an original painting by Stephen Toomey subtly sets the tone for a book full of menace and horror without giving too much away.
