The author, whose sales top ten million copies worldwide, also acted out scenes from his first novel Cirque du Freak with students.
School publicity officer Jane Harper said: "Pupils were excited to have such a popular and well known writer in school.
"Students were later able to ask questions and buy copies of his books which Darren signed on stage.
"It was a very popular and successful visit and inspired many to read."
Darren also presented prizes to pupils who had entered a competition to design a demon.
