Jamie Dalton writes modern gothic fantasy where the supernatural is never quite what it seems – and falling in love won't make it any better.
​
With a BA (Hons) in English with Creative Writing and an MSc in Psychology, she crafts stories that explore grief, violence, and desire through characters who are as dangerous to themselves as they are to each other. Her work spans vampire romance, psychological horror, and all things in between... so long as it's dark, atmospheric, morally all over the place, and refuses the easy answer.
​
A lifelong devotee of vampire fiction – from Buffy to Anne Rice – Jamie brings her own perspective to the genre, trading glamour for something raw and real. Her Scottish heritage, with family roots from Edinburgh to Orkney, influences both her storytelling and some of her readers' favourite characters.
Based in Sheffield with her husband, daughter and more books than she has room for, Jamie draws inspiration from the city's hidden history and spends much of her time devouring vampire literature, getting lost in overly-accurate historical research, and trying to work out if immortality would actually solve anything.
​
The Gloaming is her debut novel and the first in the Blood of the Revenants series. Michael (Book 0.5), a free prequel novella in the series, is available here.
