  • 5 Reasons Why a Wampyr Didn’t Walk in Highgate Cemetery” (Feb. 27, 2015)
    Erin Chapman’s investigation into the Highgate Vampire toppled successive appearances of her interview with me—and I couldn’t be happier. The article was a ballbreaker to work on, but it paid off–and will continue to pay off—in spades for its thoroughness and providing a conclusive answer to a question first asked on the Hampstead & Highgate Express‘ front page, forty-five years ago: “Does a Wampyr Walk in Highgate?” (Feb. 27, 1970).

The follow-up to “5 Reasons” is still in the pipeline, so keep your eyes peeled for that. There’ll also be some major website overhauls coming. I know I keep saying that, but you’ll see what I mean soon enough. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who keeps reading and stay tuned!
