KEY SELLING POINTS
Political vampire story set in London and Manchester.
Author explores themes such as social class, race, and identity in the 21st Century.

Three Vampires: Oscar, 550 years old, white, and upper middle class, Errol, 70 years old, black, and working
class and Terry, 100 years old, white, and working class, share a basement conversion in Fulham, London.

All is well, until the murder of George Floyd in 2020, which causes Terry and Errol, to fall out over a minor
disagreement, leaving Oscar to manipulate the situation to his advantage. Despite being a long-time Socialist,
Terry is soon asked to leave the house, and subsequently decides to travel North to meet up with Bane Vulpine,
a right- wing Podcaster and also Maxwell, a Trans-Vampire, with whom he sets up Stay In Your Lane Publishing
to fight back against an increasingly censorious establishment.

This is further complicated by his relationship with a mortal who is black, called Lauryn and after he intervenes
to save her son, Jordan, from the grips of a local gang leader, he is ostracised further. In the wake of these
turbulent events, what further fate awaits Terry?

Sean E Boye, at present, lives in North London, with no partner, no friends and a limited future. However, this is
more than offset by his love of Newcastle United, Dime bars and the music of the Electric Light Orchestra. Fred
Hampton’s Blues is his first published novel with Troubador Publishing.
