About
David C Davies' debut adult novel The Blood Garden brings all the talents and imagination of the fantasy award winner David Clement-Davies to bear on the modern vampire novel, but adds a hard nosed crime story to the mix.
In a story certainly not for children or even young adults, a new vampire for the 21st Century is born in the figure of American actor Paul Romantin, at work in London's Covent Garden, battling the past and a disillusioned London detective, Adam First. In a time slip love story rich in shadows, haunting mystery, blood and murder, The Blood Garden raises a well worn genre to new artistic heights and in scope rivals Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
‘David C Davies may have invented an entirely original genre. The vampire detective novel, with London itself as a character.’ Mike Jones - Bloomsbury
