Multi faceted and thought-provoking, A Vampire In Whitby will take you on a disturbing journey from Oxford, through gloomy forests and haunted moorlands, to the wilds of the North Yorkshire Coast. This dark tale, written by the author of The Original Ghost Walk Of Whitby - The Tour In A Book, transports the reader between the twelfth and twenty-first centuries and brings the lives of the journalist, Gemma Barnes, and the mysterious businessman, Phillipe Olbida, on a collision course that will inevitably lead them to the ancient seaport of Whitby. What exactly is Olbida seeking and why is his attention focused on a recently discovered collection of Aramaic documents?This strangely moving and sinister story begins with Raoul of Aquitaine, an educated French nobleman, and Gitred, a royalist psychopath, who seem to be possessed of a talent for encountering evil at every turn. This mismatched pair are sent northwards on a secret mission to aid King Stephen in his attempts to bring stability to the realm after a long civil war. Respectively driven by guilt and a fanatical devotion to the king, Gitred and Raoul cunningly tackle the problems they encounter with imaginative and often macabre results. Spiritual, dreamy, rich in symbolism and genuinely horrific, A Vampire In Whitby is a Gothic morality tale with a message for the present, and dire warnings for our future.
