Question 5

Are your books romance?

Accepted Answer

They are books about love.

Love and relationships are central to the emotional arc of The Revenants. However, they are not capital R romance. The stories also explore isolation, moral complexity, power, restraint, and the consequences of supernatural otherness. Love matters deeply, as it always should – but it does not erase conflict or simplify difficult truths.

Question 6

Are there explicit/spicy scenes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Gloaming contains open-door sex, along with other intimate/heated moments. These scenes serve the emotional and narrative development of the characters.

Question 7

Are your books suitable for younger readers?

Accepted Answer

No. These books are written for adults. They contain explicit content, violence, and dark themes. A detailed content warning is included at the beginning of each book.

Question 8

What is Contemporary Gothic Vampire Fiction?

Accepted Answer

Contemporary gothic vampire fiction brings traditional gothic themes into the modern world. It explores transgression, isolation, restraint, and the tension between human and immortal, hunter and hunted, mortal and undying. Amongst other things.

At its heart, the genre examines the real-world cost of supernatural otherness – and what it means to desire connection when a divide cannot be fully bridged. These are stories of characters hiding in plain sight, haunted by what they are.

Key ingredients include:
• Supernatural isolation and moral complexity
• Restraint that costs something to maintain
• Desire that creates as many problems as it solves
• Violence with lasting consequences
• Relationships built on agency, not destiny
• Power examined honestly, not romanticised

The genre prioritises atmosphere and psychological truth over spectacle. It favours slow-burn tension, complex characters, and endings that don’t tidy everything away.

While rooted in gothic tradition, contemporary gothic vampire fiction may unfold in modern or historical settings, and can range from accessible to richly atmospheric prose. What defines it is not the era, period, or style, but its emotional and moral tension.

Readers who appreciate works like The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, the gothic tradition of Shirley Jackson and Angela Carter, or films such as Only Lovers Left Alive and Byzantium will likely feel at home.

Question 9

Will The Gloaming be available as an audiobook?

Accepted Answer

At the moment, The Gloaming is available as a paperback, hardback or in eBook format on Amazon and pretty much anywhere you can buy books.. However, Jamie would love to turn it into an audiobook later down the line, but finding someone who can do the accent is easier said than done. IYKYK.

You can find The Gloaming here, and Michael here.
