Author Darren O'Shaugnessy (Sp) writes children fiction under the name Darren Shan, which is also the name of his 1st person protagonist, and the About the Author JUST ABOUT evades the idea of his being a vampire (as the protag. is); FWIW there's also an intro swearing to us all that the story is true; Holly Black also acts as though Spiderwick is true, as is said in their introduction, yet the illustrator speaks about how he came up with parts of the books. Just examples to show that if it's in the printed volume it can be false (Black saying it's real in interviews notwithstanding) | |
