Blood Loss: A Vampire Story

by Andy Maslen

Overview

Vampires are real. Deadly. And very, very hungry.

Caroline Murray thinks vampires are the stuff of fantasy. A successful lawyer, engaged to a brilliant, if erratic, scientist, she has no idea of the horror about to engulf her.

Ariane Van Helsing knows all about vampires. Her family have been fighting the lamia, as they call them, for centuries. She tries to convince Caroline of the danger facing her and her fiancé. She fails. At first.

In a series of journal entries, texts, emails, blog posts and "Hunt Books", we learn how Caroline discovers the truth about vampires. Their leader in the UK, Peta Velds. And what she has to sacrifice to defeat them.

READER WARNING
This is not a teen romance, or a swoony fantasy about pale-skinned hunks who just can't help lusting after a drop of the red stuff. BLOOD LOSS is a brutal, unsparing, bloody book about the creatures who feed on us in the dead of night.

About the Author

SHORTLISTED AUTHOR FOR 2018 KINDLE STORYTELLER AWARD FOR "HIT AND DONE"

Hi. Thanks for stopping by my Amazon author page. I'm Andy Maslen, creator of Gabriel Wolfe and Stella Cole. I've always loved reading thrillers, so when I took the plunge and began work on my first novel - Trigger Point - it seemed natural to me to follow my heroes.

A lot of my readers ask me if I have ever served in the military. I haven't, but I have some close friends who have. They've been incredibly generous with their time (and patience!), explaining how things work, from weaponry and materiel, to the everyday language and behaviour of soldiers.

There are tons of people out there doing varied and interesting (and sometimes dangerous) jobs. As an author it's fantastic to be able to contact them and find they're only too happy to discuss their work. I've interviewed murder detectives, pharmacology professors, military planners, movie fight arrangers, Special Branch officers ... and they've all shared invaluable details to bring my stories to life. I hope their contributions increase your enjoyment of my books.

In my time, I've worked in a record shop, as a barman, as a door-to-door DIY products salesman and a cook in an Italian restaurant. I eventually landed a job in marketing. I always try to take away something positive from any experience, and often find a memory will surface of a situation I've been in, or a person I've met.

Tyton Press

I created the Tyton Press imprint to publish my fiction. My non-fiction works are published by Marshall Cavendish and Kogan Page.

The logo, drawn by Darren Bennett, is a barn owl, the scientific name for which is Tyto alba.
