Nightfall: The Shadows Gather

by Stewart Stafford

A vampire stalks South Dublin in Ireland. A police detective picks up its trail, but soon discovers that there could be more to the case than just a bloodsucker in a feeding frenzy. If his hunch is right, each victim is part of a larger, more ancient and deadly puzzle.

About the author

Stewart was born in New York City to Irish parents. The family moved back to Ireland when he was three years old.

His natural gift for writing appeared early (he is related to the Irish poet Austin Clarke). His first school report card when he was five had just one comment at the end: "Stewart writes very interesting stories."

He listened to his grandmother's tales of the Banshee in her kitchen and was enthralled and terrified. It was direct exposure to Ireland's Celtic storytelling tradition, and he got hooked. Stewart loves the folktales, traditions and superstitions of Ireland, the country that gave the world the festival of Halloween and Dracula author Bram Stoker. He went on to do an Irish Folklore course in University College Dublin. He also has qualifications in Theatre Studies, Criminology and Social Media for Business.
