This is not a sparkly vampire story.

'The Angels of Islington' is a gripping debut novel following in the footsteps of Anne Rice and Poppy Z Brite with a touch of the sardonic. 'The Angels of Islington' is a tongue in cheek romp through the World of a group of vampires who have successfully integrated themselves into the Goth scene of nineties London. Onyx, Demon, Spider and Storm are vampires, they hide from an ancient enemy within the recesses of a Victorian warehouse situated in the heart of London that houses a club night known to it's denizens as ‘Slimelight’. But all is not as it seems in this book, their is so many twists and turns that make this book a thrilling read. Immersed within the Goth subculture where music, alcohol and blood flows abundantly, they are unaware that something is plotting revenge, and in order to survive, they must each find a new inner strength and, hopefully, sober up.

“... an action-packed horror tale full of descriptions of beautiful people living monstrous lives in grubby locations.” - Simon Satori (The Blogging Goth - www.theblogginggoth.com)

“Vampire literature isn’t undead yet…Sam George (Hertford University) said that the reason the genre is so pervasive is because, like its mythical subject, it refused to die.” It is rebranded and updated with each new generation of writer. Here the author has cleverly integrated vampire folklore with everyday events on the Goth scene, mixing the fantastical with the inane, in a way which is both subtle and clever." - The Bookseller
