Hi Vamps,
Sciencefiction.com have just posted an interview with Ben Tripp whose first vampire novel hit the stands in late July. Check out the interview and then go get a copy of the book for yourself!
I should make up a better story, but the truth is that I have seen every single Hammer horror movie, including the snoozing Christopher Lee ones, and I really dig the set decoration. I was watching one of these some years back, admiring the castle interior, and I thought, “damn, I’d kill Dracula myself if it meant I could get my hands on that Jacobean banquet table.” And off it went. That’s literally where the idea came from.

Filled with characters as menacing as they are memorable, this chilling twist on vampire fiction packs a punch in the bestselling tradition of ’Salem’s Lot by Stephen King.
Asmodeus “Sax” Saxon-Tang, a vainglorious and well-established antiques dealer, has made a fortune over many years by globetrotting for the finest lost objects in the world. Only Sax knows the true secret to his success: at certain points of his life, he’s killed vampires for their priceless hoards of treasure.
But now Sax’s past actions are quite literally coming back to haunt him, and the lives of those he holds most dear are in mortal danger. To counter this unnatural threat, and with the blessing of the Holy Roman Church, a cowardly but cunning Sax must travel across Europe in pursuit of incalculable evil—and immeasurable wealth—with a ragtag team of mercenaries and vampire killers to hunt a terrifying, ageless monster…one who is hunting Sax in turn.
From author Ben Tripp, whose first horror novel Rise Again“raises the stakes so high that the book becomes nearly impossible to put down” (Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother), The Fifth House of the Heart is a powerful story that will haunt you long after its final pages.
Happy Biting ;.;
