The vampire bewitched
Pete Johnson
- Reading
- Try the opening together and check whether the humour and vampire peril feel like a comfortable mix. If the mystery catches your reader’s interest, continue and revisit how they feel about its suspense.
- Themes
- Memory loss and suspicion: Marcus has lost his memory of his previous life as a vampire hunter; his friends suspect the loss may be connected to the new shop. The premise makes lost memory part of a supernatural mystery, but does not establish a broader view of memory loss.
- Vampire conflict: Marcus, Tallulah and Gracie hunt vampires portrayed in the overview as a threat to humans and half-vampires. The premise frames the conflict as a supernatural threat, but the detail and treatment of the fighting are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes vampire hunting, enemies intent on destroying people, and a memory loss that friends find sinister. Consider whether these kinds of danger or uncertainty might unsettle your reader.
