PREQUEL – BIRTH
THE MONSTER.

OF

THE AUTHOR.

This is the prequel to Bound By Blood,
and the vampire arc. It takes you to
Dracula’s last triumph on the battlefield,
and his last moments as a mortal man.
While he lies dying in the chapel of the
monastery at Snagov, Lucifer comes to
claim his soul. The Dark One speaks of
his vision in destroying the Catholic
Church in his quest to win the battle for
souls, and creates Dracula the vampire.

The author developed a fascination with Dracula from
an early age. Like many others he was enthralled by
Christopher Lee’s portrayal of him on the big screen.
It was in his late teens that he discovered Dracula the
man and the love affair began from there. An avid
lover of history, he studied the period in which the
real historical Vlad Dracula lived, 15th Century
Balkan, for many years. It followed from there then
that with his love of writing he would always choose
Dracula as his subject. He built a concept and premise
where he could accommodate both Dracula the
vampire and Dracula the man.

BOOK #6 – BOUND BY
BLOOD.

Away from writing, the author has a wide range of
interests. He reads a lot of books from a wide variety
of authors, though his main interest lies in the horror
genre. His love of books is matched only by his love
of the countryside and of course, his family. As an
added note, he has lived and travelled all over the
world. He has a love for all things historical, with a
particular fascination for medieval Europe. Anywhere
he travels, he likes to search out locations with an
historical interest and will always hunt for the ruins of
an old castle before heading to the beach.

A new edition of this and the next book
is currently with my copy editors, and
will be released and re-launched with
new covers in the summer.
“A war rages on around us every day.
The struggle to save all mankind. The
ultimate evil.”
As his moment of death looms Dracula
suffers the ultimate betrayal. The
champion of the Catholic faith in
Eastern Europe realises it is Lucifer who
is coming to claim him. However,
Lucifer does not want his soul.
Instead he bites into Dracula’s neck and
then offers his own blood to drink.
Dracula suffers his mortal death, but he
re-awakens. Immortalised with Lucifer’s
blood coursing through his veins, the
two are bound by blood for eternity.
Lucifer has groomed him for this day
and lays out the task before him.
Dracula is to destroy the institution of
that which he has championed for so
long. By bringing down the Catholic
Church he can undo the Crucifixion and
turn man against God once more. If he
succeeds then Lucifer will ascend again
to Heaven and signal the end for all
mankind.
