“With VAMPIRES IN BC, Keith Costelloe breathes new life and injects fresh blood into the vampire genre, taking established lore and turning it on its head with ingenious aplomb.”
- Neil Marshall, Director of The Descent and Dog Soldiers
“… a mesmerizing fantasy novel that immerses readers in a dark and atmospheric world where the lines between life and death, human and vampire, blur hauntingly.
Rating: 5 Stars April Pullia, Assistant Editor. Literary Titan.
"A twisty, dark, and unnerving supernatural thriller … Costelloe draws readers into a shadowy world where the lines between predator and prey blur, and every choice comes with dangerous stakes. ... An unsettling exploration of power, desire, and the seductive allure of eternal life, the book makes for a page-turner. "
Oct. 2024, The Prairies Book Review
“At heart, it's a story about interspecies cohabitation. Can we claim this world all to ourselves? Is that morally right? … the inclusion of indigenous folklore, represented by the Children of Sasquatch, introduces a unique twist to the narrative and sets the series apart from other vampire-themed shows.
