My friend, author Catherine Green, is having a birthday. And to celebrate, she is giving away free copies of her new novel, Return of the Vampire Hunter. So if you like contemporary horror set in the UK, grab your copy now. And don’t forget to leave a review. This offer ends January 31st.
Return of the Vampire Hunter is pure urban fantasy with a hint of seduction thrown in for good measure. Set in Manchester, Northern England, it is a contemporary story with all the darkness of classic Gothic monsters.
Book Description
Just your average Cheshire housewife – who used to hunt vampires!
Hannah Oakley used to be a vampire hunter. She retired from active service when she fell in love with the female vampire she was hunting, but old wounds refuse to heal. She and the vampire fought almost to the death, and now it seems that the vampire has tracked her down. Hannah must return to work, grudgingly accepting help from a new hunting partner, and she is determined that this time she will finish the job. But can she ignore the old lust for her vampire lover? Is the mother able to be a vampire hunter one more time? And will her marriage survive the ordeal?
Return of the Vampire Hunter is available to download FREE throughout January, and will be available as a paperback book in 2018.
Excerpt
We were on the motorway and I was in the passenger seat. I had been passing food to the children in the back seat, and as I twisted back round to face forward, I glanced at James. My heart skipped a beat and then pounded heavily as the world spun around me.
“What is that on your neck?†I asked sharply.
James glanced at me and then checked his mirrors as he moved into the middle lane.
“What?†he asked absently.
“That,†I said, “On your neck.â€
I reached across and gently touched the mark on his skin. It looked like two small, neat puncture wounds. A vampire bite. Shit.
James touched the bruise, winced, and then shook his head.
“I don’t know,†he said, “I must have cut myself shaving.â€
“That is not a shaving wound,†I said.
He glanced at me again and frowned.
“Why are you so upset about it?†he asked curiously, “It’s nothing.â€
I stared at the tiny wound as my whole world flipped upside down. Was it Elaine? Had she finally found me? Or was it another stray vampire? One thing was certain; I had to return to work. This one had to be destroyed before it came for my whole family. Gathering my senses, I shook my head and smiled.
“Oh, forget it,†I said lightly, “It looked more serious at first, that’s all. But, if it doesn’t hurt then it doesn’t matter. Can you see the sea yet, girls?â€
