Hello and welcome to this month’s short story video.
This time around, it is the turn of First Hunt: Now, one of two short vampire stories from 2015’s anthology All Things Dark and Dangerous (links for which you can find at www.aschambers.co.uk).
As I said last month, I’ve always been a fan of vampires; more so than werewolves. This is why they feature as heroic figures in the Spallucciverse. First Hunt: Now really illustrates how I give them a human spin, so to speak. I find it quite tedious and monotonous when vamps are all ubered-up and practically invincible or all-knowing. This short story shows how they have to learn their skils, just as they would have learnt things when they were human.
Also, it ties in nicely with a novella that I’m working on and will be published in late 2023, Child of Light. The location is the same as in the novella and the battle with constructs that is referred to here at the start of the story is in fact the climax of that tale.
