The vampire Rix has always been on the run.
"Strength of a Vampire" picks up where "Being a Vampire" left off, with Rix in search of housing—yet again. Desperate for a safe place to stay, he moves into the bedlam of a house of vampires. As the COVID‐19 pandemic progresses, the vampires face increasing difficulties in finding sustenance, especially during lockdowns. When protests erupt during that chaotic summer of 2020, Rix finds an unexpected benefit—a perpetually full belly. Amid the crowds and the teargas, Rix encounters a surprise that changes everything and offers him fragile hope.
Genres: slice of life / dark literary / new weird.
PRAISE FOR STRENGTH OF A VAMPIRE
"Ridgewell's story of a Seattle‐based vampire sub‐culture during Covid and the George Floyd demonstrations provides an unforgettable mix of vampire and human characters who interact in the parks, alleys, and on the freeways of her nighttime city to produce an unforgettable romance, suspense, and horror novel." — SEELYE MARTIN
"Rix is trying survive in a Seattle locked down for Covid. And he's in love with a human woman, Maggie, an ER nurse always in danger from this new disease, while Rix himself also worries about vampire hunters that are killing his kind.
This is a deeply compassionate novel about a vampire who wants to do the right thing by everyone — human and vampire — in a hostile and difficult world. It's a beautiful and compelling read, and an accurate account of the years Covid hit Seattle." — KEYAN BOWES
