London, 1979 — Goth is rising like a bat out of the early punk scene. The “Soho Ripper” is terrifying the humans. And a most unlikely hero finds his partner in fighting crime: the vampire crime of “adharmhem”...

In this story from the Blood & Ancient Scrolls Series, meet Nthanda, the leader of the English vampires, and immerse yourself in the origin story of Viv, who discovers vampires are real just in time to fight a mass murderer for his life and for a future in which he’d only just started to dare to hope.

This story features the lyrics of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” the song that helped define the goth scene from its very inception—this story is approved by Bauhaus, and takes you back to watch them perform the song for the first time at the legendary Marquee Club in Soho.
