About the author
A.S. Chambers
50Ìýbooks32ÌýfollowersBy day, A.S.Chambers is a mild-mannered genealogist, armed only with a tweed jacket and a finely sharpened HB pencil. By night, he is the top-hatted creator of the long-suffering Sam Spallucci - investigator of the paranormal and all things weird.
The first outing for Sam was The Casebook of Sam Spallucci, published in 2012, where the poor chap suffered such unfortunate tasks as babysitting a new born vampire, tracking down an angst-ridden poltergeist in a local high school and overcoming a lycanthropic zoo-keeper as it bayed for his blood. Sam Spallucci: Ghosts From The Past, followed in 2014 and the third in the series, Sam Spallucci: Shadows of Lancaster, saw the light of day in 2016.
As well as books concerning his beleaguered investigator, Austin also whips out the occasional short horror story from time to time. The first compilation of these, Oh Taste And See, was published in 2014 and, like his second compilation All Things Dark And Dangerous, is available to buy as an ideal present for your dear old Gran. (Let's face it, she'll prefer these books to those mint imperials that you bought for her birthday last year. She was young once too, remember!)
Austin has a Facebook page which he would be delighted for you to follow (@A.S.Chambers) as well as the obligatory collection of ramblings in the Twittersphere (@ASChambersUK).
There is also a lovingly crafted website for you to peruse: which fills you in a little bit more about his work and has the relevant links to Amazon for his books.

A new take on the classics
A.S. Chambers was the perfect author to read during October. I was looking for a classic feeling vampire story with a new twist and I found it in his Children of Cain -A Vampire Omnibus. The monsters in these pages have you questioning wether or not they’re really monsters at all. They’re the blood drinking, horrifying creatures we love from the classics but are put against a new enemy that has you rooting for them.
I highly recommend this book for any vampire fans.
