Author Sheldon D. Dottery brings a fresh, emotionally charged twist to the vampire genre with the release of his gripping debut novel, A Vampire’s Story. Combining supernatural horror with deeply human struggles, this urban fantasy follows Michael. He is a young photographer whose life is torn apart after a single, fateful encounter in a dark alley. What begins as a night of celebration quickly transforms into a nightmare of blood, betrayal, and transformation.
“This isn’t just a vampire story,” says Dottery. “It’s a story about identity, grief, and the choices we make when everything we know is stripped away.”
Set in a modern-day cityscape, A Vampire’s Story subverts traditional tropes by exploring the mental and emotional toll of becoming something other than human. After being attacked by a mysterious man with glowing red eyes, Michael wakes up with heightened senses, a powerful hunger, and a horrifying realization that he is no longer alive.
But his transformation is only the beginning.
Michael must navigate a dangerous new world led by Aries, the manipulative and charismatic vampire who turned him into a new identity. As he resists the urge to feed on innocent lives, Michael clings to the memory of Vanessa, the love he lost, and the discovery that she was pregnant when he died. The emotional weight of fatherhood, friendship, and redemption fuels Michael’s desperate search for a cure.
With unforgettable characters, high-stakes conflict, drama, thrill, twists and turns, and fast-paced storytelling, A Vampire’s Story stands out as a modern reimagining of vampire mythology. Moreover, Dottery’s unique voice with a creative edge and originality blends heart-pounding suspense with heartfelt moments that you won’t soon forget.
The novel, which was initially based on a college theater script, has already received recognition for its incisive dialogue, dramatic pacing, and deep emotional depth. If you are a fan of supernatural fiction, urban fantasy, or any horror story, you will certainly find A Vampire’s Story to be a bold and compelling addition to the genre.
But beware, once you start reading, you won’t be able to put this book down.
