The graffiti spread through London that summer like wildfire. Its population carried on with life as usual in one of the richest cities on the planet. But beneath the surface there is change. Men and women are going missing without trace. What has the old African preacher seen emerging from undergrowth near the river? Is this the essence of evil encountered long ago? Ben Ashton is an investigative writer. When he's commissioned to find out who is responsible for the Vampyr Sharkz graffiti he thinks his luck has changed for the better. Little does he guess how wrong he is?

From the Author:

London Under Midnight: Take The Virtual Tour

I'm often asked if my novels are set in places that actually exist. Partly to answer that I've created a virtual tour combined with video post-card that can be viewed at the Simon Clark site. As films go it's short and to the point so don't order the biggest tub of popcorn ;-)

London Under Midnight is my first urban novel; most have had rural settings until now. As for the story, it's a vampire novel in the tradition of Vampyrrhic and Vampyrrhic Rites with vampires that are definitely of the non-traditional variety (but still have plenty of bite), although the real jumping-off point for this was Vampyrrhic Outcast, a short story.

To close on a vampiric theme: the Vampyrrhic-related novella, Jack of Bones, which closes the Hotel Midnight collection has been nominated for a Brtish Fantasy Society award, so many thanks for all who voted.
