“1971. A middle-aged man, racked with grief, walks along the beach
at Whitstable, Kent. A boy approaches and, taking him for the famous
vampire-hunter Doctor Van Helsing from the Hammer movies, asks for help.
Because the boy believes his stepfather really is a vampire.
The actor, devastated after the recent death of his wife and soul
mate Helen, is an inconsolable recluse. In that vulnerable state he is forced
to face an evil far more real and terrifying than any of the make-believe
monsters he tackled on the big screen…”
So begins the new novella, Whitstable,
by Stephen Volk, to be published by the British Fantasy Award-nominated
Spectral Press in May 2013 to coincide with the centenary of the celebrated Hammer
star, Peter Cushing. To pre-order visit the Spectral Press webpage.
