vampire case written by the man who led
the only investigation into
the spectral hauntings, nightly
visitations, demonic disturbances and
blood-lettings at Highgate Cemetery and
environs from 1969-1982.
“Ever since I became aware that Highgate Cemetery was the
reputed haunt of a vampire, the investigations and activities of Seán
Manchester commanded my attention. I became convinced that, more than anyone else,
he knew the full story of the Highgate Vampire.”
~ Peter Underwood, ghost hunter &
author, The Ghost Club Society, London, England
“I am very impressed by the body of scholarship you have
created. Seán Manchester is undoubtedly the father of modern vampirological
research.”
~ John Godl, paranormal researcher and
writer, Sydney, New South
Wales, Australia
“Seán Manchester is to be congratulated on this fine piece of
research work which I confess to enjoying to the extreme.”
~ Professor
Devendra P Varma, vampirologist & author, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada
“Fascinating in its subject matter and magnificent in the
quality of its prose. Seán Manchester’s literary style is refreshingly
reminiscent of the Gothic genre.”
~ Paul Spencer
Vickers, Dept of English Literature, University College, London, England
“Seán Manchester is the most
celebrated vampirologist of the twentieth century.”
~ Shaun Marin,
reviewer and sub-editor, Uri Geller’s Encounters magazine, England
“A most interesting and useful
addition to the literature of the subject.”
~ Reverend
Basil Youdell, Literary Editor Orthodox News, Christ the Saviour, Woolwich, England
“This book will certainly be
read in a hundred years time, two hundred years time, three hundred years time ~
in short, for as long as mankind is interested in the supernatural. It has the
most genuine power to grip. Once you have started to read it, it is virtually
impossible to put it down.”

This what they said about CARMEL:
“This is the definitive
sequel to Stoker’s gothic masterpiece; yet, in a strange sort of way, it stands
on its own as unique. There is so much more to CARMEL than walking in
the eerie footsteps of DRACULA. Yes, we are transported into that
fearful realm of supernatural evil peculiar to vampires as the author skillfully
restores those near-extinct elements from yestercentury, but at the centre is a
story painfully real. It is the story of the holder of the name of the book’s
title. Is this an actual person? Or merely a novelistic embellishment? The
novel and how much of it is based on reality is less important to the reader
than its effect as a vampire tale. For here is a terrifying exploration into
the nether world of the undead where the reader is found wandering betwixt
Victorian tombstones as the original contagion spreads its venom in the
latter-half of 20th century England. Transylvania is not forgotten, and, like
its precursor, CARMEL
is the mirror of the mind of its author: Britain’s busiest vampirologist and
exorcist ...”
“This vampire tale is a
most enchanting read. Seán Manchester’s style, imagination and sensibility
makes CARMEL quite a jewel. Stoker has, at last, a literary heir worthy
of writing a sequel.”
“Seán Manchester is the
natural writer of any attempt to resume the story of DRACULA.”
Vincent Hillyer
“I really enjoyed
reading CARMEL. I just couldn’t put it down.”
“I felt I had to say how
much I enjoyed CARMEL ~ easily the best vampire novel I have read since
the original DRACULA. Absolutely enthralling. Tremendous atmosphere and
a mounting tension that in my experience has only been equalled by Bram
Stoker’s masterpiece. Congratulations! Congratulations!”
“What follows recounts a
tradition made more stark in a world less able to credit its existence than
that time wherein the original testimonies are recorded. Yet, as remarked by Montague
Summers some seventy years prior, consciously or unconsciously it is realised
that the vampire tradition contains far more truth than the ordinary individual
cares to appreciate and acknowledge. My forebears and I can attest to the
veracity of such a statement.”
