Further reading for The Vampire Hunters of Highgate Cemetery
Beginning in the early 1970’s, residents of the Highgate neighborhood of Northern London began to report encounters and attacks by an entity which defied classification, similar to the old Spring Heeled Jack reports, but most closely resembled a vampire. These attacks took place in the vicinity of Highgate Cemetery, a crumbling victorian cemetery. These attacks would have likely continued and spread through London like wildfire were it not for the valiant and selfless efforts of two dashing and skilled vampire hunters: occultist, David Farrant and self-proclaimed Bishop of the Old Catholic Church, Sean Manchester. Their combined efforts to seek out and destroy the beast may have saved all of London, if not the entire world.
Just fucking with you. These two dudes were clowns but Farrant seemed like a pretty righteous dude with a decent sense of humor about it. Manchester, on the other hand, was obsessed and characteristically dour of a British man obsessed with the old gloom and doom of Catholicism.
Both of these men spent literal years investigating and attacking the beast in their own ways and as things progressed, the British tabloid media picked up on the story and a minor sensation arose with both men clamoring for as much of the spotlight as they could get. Eventually, this competition turned into a rivalry and a legit vampire hunter beef evolved from that which became a far more interesting story than that of a strange energy sapping creature stalking the streets of London.
