"Vampires in BC" by Award-Winning Author Keith Costelloe Redefines Vampire Lore in Thrilling New Novel
Award-Winning author breathes new life into the vampire genre with an innovative take on mythology and human-vampire dynamics.
Acclaimed Canadian author Keith Costelloe, known for his award-winning novel Drawn into Danger , is proud to announce the release of his highly anticipated new book Vampires in BC . This gripping novel pushes the boundaries of vampire fiction, introducing readers to a thrilling new world where human emotions clash with vampire instincts in a story of self-discovery, survival, and redemption.
Vampires in BC has already garnered significant attention within literary and film circles. The novel has been recognized at the International Fiction Festival 2024, where it placed in the Top 10% of the Novel category, and is a finalist in the Page Turner 2024 Screenplay Awards. In the highly competitive horror genre, it currently ranks #14 for the year and #3 for the month of October 2024.
Vampires in BC has already captivated the attention of renowned figures in the industry. Neil Marshall, director of The Descent and Dog Soldiers , hailed the novel, saying: "With VAMPIRES IN BC, Keith Costelloe breathes new life and injects fresh blood into the vampire genre, taking established lore and turning it on its head with ingenious aplomb. This is a cracking read from the first page to the last. Highly recommended!"
Additionally, Launch Pad praised the novel's imaginative world-building and its unique take on vampire-human hybrids: "What sets 'Vampires in BC' apart is its innovative take on vampire mythology and the dynamics of a vampire-human hybrid society. ... the inclusion of indigenous folklore introduces a unique twist to the narrative and sets the series apart from other vampire-themed stories."
Literary Titan praised Vampires in BC as "a mesmerizing fantasy novel that immerses readers in a dark and atmospheric world where the lines between life and death, human and vampire, blur hauntingly." The novel, with its rich gothic elements and evocative writing, is described as "a thought-provoking exploration of identity and morality" that goes beyond vampire tales, offering readers a fresh perspective on vampire mythology.

But as he begins to question the price of immortality and what he has left behind in his former human life, Jude faces a deeper internal conflict: Can he truly reconcile his vampire desires with the remnants of his human soul?
