Nuptial Flight: The London Vampire Conspiracy

John Michaelson, aka The London Vampire, rose to the surface web in 2009 and has since attracted global interest. His claim? That a new breed of vampire was alive, well and operating secretly within London.

Michaelson remains secretive about most of his research which involves active investigation and deception across the dark web in pursuit of this dangerous sect. In 2014, a stylised retelling of his experience was published in a book titled October's Son: The London Vampire Diaries, attracting media attention for his alternate view on vampirism.

In Nuptial Flight: The London Vampire Conspiracy, Michaelson answers many of the questions raised in October's Son, including how he tracks down modern day vampires and where he gets support from now that Michael is gone. Told through a series of terse journals and graphic recollections, Michaelson's writing is chilling, dark-humoured and painfully real.

Forget everything you thought you knew about vampires, Michaelson's story changes everything.

Spanning several years, The London Vampire recounts his darkest encounters, the new alliances he has made and the painful path of redemption he has walked. His memoirs culminate in a fight against human traffickers - a greater conspiracy ever imagined.

October's Son was about Sin; Nuptial Flight is about salvation.
