Ever since Paul discovered the works of HG Wells, Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, and all of those wonderful Victorian authors, he has been mildly obsessed with the darker recesses of Victorian life. 'Dolly Biters: the Vampire Girls of Victorian London' is the first of his books that creates a whole gothic Victorian universe in which vampires were real, and the worst (and best) of them lived in the East End of London. Paul's Victorian Vampire books are written in the first person and in the language of the day, giving the reader a joyous roller-coaster ride through the dark cobble-stoned streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields, where death is always just around the corner, and is just as likely to come from the bite of a vampire as it is from the bludgeon of a thug or the syphilis of a prostitute. Paul is lucky enough to have two children, neither of which have been infected with the vampire virus as yet. Paul's ambition is to one day invent (or steal) a time machine, travel back to the mid-1800s and marry the Fox Sisters. All of them.
