the Lake of Souls

This book is number ten in Darren Shan's vampire saga (see post about number one for how I'm handling posts about the whole series).

   Starting off our fourth and final sub-trilogy within the overall saga, this book is where things all in all start to get really wacky. Taking a time-out from the vampire-vampaneze war, Darren and Harkat are sent by the devilish Mr Tiny on a fantastical quest across strange lands, encountering bizarre beasts and testing ordeals; their objective - to reach the lake of souls, basically a giant pond in which the spirits of people who haven't reached the afterlife properly swim about for basically eternity, and fish out one particular soul (of whom, for sake of spoilers, I will not say until my post about the final book).
