Dead of Night is the second book in the Caretaker Trilogy. It will be available on July 1 at all the usual places.

What is Dead of Night about?

Dead of Night is the next chapter in the story of Rune, a defector from Faeryland who’s just trying to get by on Main Street USA. In Shadow of the King, Rune’s troubles followed him from the faery realm. Now, the problem is home-grown: a supernatural threat that he has never faced before lurking in the shadows of this world.

You’re being kind of vague.

Fine. It’s vampires. Rune is going up against vampires.

You mean like Dracula or Lestat?

Among others. There are many different creatures in world mythology that we might call “vampire-adjacent.” They maintain a grotesque existence by feeding off the blood, breath, or life-force of the living. Some of them are animated corpses. Others are demonic entities that refuse to die. I’ve packed a bunch of them into Dead of Night, so maybe you’ll find one you like.

But none of them sparkle.

Are any of them sexy?

Your mileage may vary.

The night gets darker on July 1, but you can pre-order today from Bookshop (paperback or ebook) or Amazon (ebook).
