An ancient vampire returns to the place of his Un-dead birth; he seeks a quiet life where his simple needs can be met. He sets about the restoration of the old Victorian vicarage, but soon loses control of events - not so much through his own actions as by the desires and needs of the villagers. As the village priest says "Our spiritual body expresses the personality we have developed in our earthly body"; and so the vampire acts as a catalyst. His destiny becomes entwined with those he touches and moves towards its fateful conclusion, trailing clouds of horror as it does.

Autorenporträt
James Warden was a teacher for forty years and retired in 2006. He now enjoys his retirement as much as he enjoyed his time in the education service. He writes every morning. He acts in several Norwich theatres and this experience informs his writing. His stage adaptation of Laurie Lee's As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning was performed at the Sewell Barn Theatre in November 2009. His original play, Letters from a Boy in the Trenches, which was based on the letters of a WW1 soldier, was performed in Marchington, Staffordshire in 2015. He and his wife travel as much as possible. They have taken several holidays in Mediterranean resorts - the basis for his first novel, Three Women of a Certain Age, which was published in July 2010, and Bingham Goes to Cannes, to be published in 2024. His play scripts for children include the one that formed the basis for his children's story, The Great Gobbler and his Home Baking Factory at the North Pole, which he wrote in 1982 and published in December 2010. He has three sons and they inspired three of his novels - The Vampire's Homecoming, which was published in 2011, and The One-eyed Dwarf, published in 2012 and The Haunting of Thornham Staithe published in 2022.
