REVIEWS
Raw and brutal like a kick in the teeth from a pair of hob-nail boots!
As a fellow Brummie I was intrigued when I stumbled upon this book by accident. But what a happy accident it was.
Raw and brutal like a kick in the teeth this book takes the reader down a dark alley, mugs them at knife point and then proceeds to give them a kicking just because...
AND after following the rollercoaster to the end, you WILL immediately want to go and get the season 2 & 3 bundle, just to see what happens next.
The Path To Hell Begins!
This truly is a gritty, fast paced, potty mouthed, violent start to the Joe Coffin series - IT IS UTTERLY WONDERFUL!!!
Intense characters (I particularly loved Emma, with her ballsy, dogged attitude). Joe Coffin is an enigma, his uber violent, tough guy image, belays a surprising soft spot, family means everything to him!
There's humour, gore, characters to love and characters to hate...
Thank god there are more to read! 💥

Coffin squeezed his eyes shut, letting the rainwater run down his face.
Vampires did not exist. Undead creatures of the dark, that prowled the night looking for victims to suck dry of their lifeblood, were nothing but shadows in books and films, and folklore. Figments of the imagination. Vampires did not stalk the real world.
And yet…
Coffin opened his eyes and gazed at Steffanie’s grave. Only one way to know for sure if that woman had been an impostor.
Coffin picked up the spade and climbed to his feet.
He started digging.

99
Jacob Mills’ best friend, Peter Marsden, had been begging him for months to break into 99 Forde Road with him. He said maybe they would find a dead body in there, or maybe they would meet a ghost, or get chased by a zombie.
None of these things particularly appealed to Jacob, but Peter kept on and on at him, wearing him down, bit by bit.
The dilapidated Victorian house had been empty for as long as they could remember. Every morning, as they walked past it on their way to school, they’d tell each other stories about ghosts wandering through the deserted rooms and corridors, skeletal hands clawing at the bannisters as they shuffled down the stairs, blood dripping from their empty eye sockets. That’s how Jacob wanted it to stay, a house they visited only in their imaginations.
The house had been constructed of odd angles and weird extensions. Over the years, sections of it seemed to have sunk slightly, giving the rambling, pointed structure an even more unsettling appearance. Dark windows of different shapes and sizes sat uncomfortably with one another, some of them so recessed under the eaves it was difficult to imagine how they could receive any natural light. Vines trailed all across the frontage, around the weathered window frames and over the front door. Even the tall, tottering chimney pots were being slowly strangled by long, green fingers.
Jacob was half convinced that one day he would walk past, and the house would be gone, completely hidden by a mound of twisted greenery.
A set of wide stone steps, chipped and discoloured from years of neglect, led up to the front door. Two stone gargoyles guarded the steps, squatting on pillars, their fat lips set in permanent sneers, baring their teeth at anyone foolish enough to approach them.
Jacob could never imagine himself walking past those gargoyles, fearful that they would spring to life, and pounce on him, sinking their stone teeth into his stomach and ripping out his guts.

No, I haven't been eaten by zombies, although some days it feels that way.

JOE COFFIN REVIEWS
What a book. Had me hooked from the start. A no nonsense style which I prefer in both reading and my own writing. What I liked from the start was there are very few characters you’d ever wish to socialise with. However, they were so well developed, you end up rooting for them all the way.
And Joe Coffin is as anti-hero as they come.

OMG, I love this book!!!! I love the Joe Coffin character, the real thrill ride of this story!! This book is a real page turner and a lot of fun to read, I just can't put it down!!! I am so glad I stumbled onto this author and his books.
This is one of the best vampire genre books I have ever read!! The characters are incredibly designed and the story is dark, dangerous and exciting. I highly recommend this book and the follow up books as well. I cannot wait until he comes out with season 5

A mixture of gangland thriller and Vampire Horror. Joe Coffin is an unlikely hero in a novel with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. If this story ever makes it onto the TV screens it will , in my humble opinion, be a hit. I have read season 2 and looking forward to reading 3,4 & 5

I absolutely love Ken Preston's work and, yes, I'm as addicted as if I'd been bitten by one of his terrifyingly dark vampires! I love Birmingham, I love horror, I love books that are complete page turnes.
The writing grabs you by the throat and drags you in. If you like dark, gory, adventurous, exciting, gritty, real (I know, that might be an odd word to use about this genre but I've watched Dexter, Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders - and this ranks with them all in my view).
