CITIZENS OF SHADOW

A VAMPIRE TALE

BEGUILED BY NIGHT BOOK TWO

ON SALE 11 MAY 2023

“A glorious, gothic-laced journey as alluring as the vampire at its dark and bloody heart.”

⸺ BEVERLEY LEE, author of The Gabriel Davenport Series, The Ruin of Delicate Things, The House of Little Bones, and the forthcoming The Sum of Your Flesh

A chance to live life over, to correct one’s mistakes — is it a blessing or a curse? In Beguiled by Night, Vauquelin, an ancient, queer vampire living in present-day Los Angeles, finds his time unwinding like a spool of dirty thread til he’s re-deposited into seventeenth century France: he seizes the chance for redemption. In Citizens of Shadow, he clings frightfully to his aim — until he learns the hidden costs of tampering with fate. Centuries of self-exile and isolation claim their due. What glory might unfold when you open your heart to what else is to come … and what rewards will you reap when you embrace your authentic self?

Lush, gothic horror unfolds in Citizens of Shadow, a queer dark fantasy of vampires, time travel, and sinister secrets threatening to unravel an eternal existence.

Coming 11 May 2023 from Polidori Press.

I am a lifelong student of French history and the macabre. My fascination with vampires dates back to the age of eight, when I saw ‘Salem’s Lot on television. Many years later, my love for haemovores became a beautiful marriage with my obsession with French history and culture, specifically of the seventeenth-century.

Beguiled by Night is my first published novel, although I have been writing since childhood. Growing up, the words of Toni Morrison were always bubbling beneath my dark surfaces: “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” And so I did. I hope you love Vauquelin and my French vampire world as much as I do.

I am excited to share Book Two, Citizens of Shadow, coming May 13, 2023.
