Down A Dark Path
The Birth of Vengeance follows a bullied and tormented young man who is given the chance to enact revenge in the form of a vampire. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I drew inspiration from “Let the right one in” and “Twilight”. I liked the idea of a role reversal to current vampire books. But I wanted the chance for revenge to lie in the hands of the protagonist, rather than relying on someone else. I wanted to show the consequences of revenge. How it can lead down a dark path.
I find the world you created in this novel brimming with possibilities. Where did the inspiration for the setting come from, and how did it change as you were writing?
A number of the settings are a mix of places I have lived in or visited. They say write about what you know. I can’t write about being a vampire, but I can write about being a teenage boy in the UK and the places around it.
They ending changed significantly as I grew attached to one of the characters. But I can’t say which one as it is a spoiler!!
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
The accelerated coming of age story for the main character. The dark path revenge will take you down.
The idea of the young man with the older woman, rather than the other way around in other vampire books. It would make a very different dynamic.
Where does the story go in the next book, and where do you see it going in the future?
It goes on for another 3 books to complete the story arch for Jon. He learns more about vampires, their creation and conflicts.
I am planning a new story arch, and have written some prequel/sequels as a setup.
