For readers who loved the moral complexity of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles and the dark atmosphere of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, a contemporary gothic vampire tale with slow-burning tension - where following your heart means confronting the darkness within.
Atmospheric, beautifully written, and compulsively readable from the first page.
In a city where the old world bleeds into the new, Erin hunts the things others can't see: fatigued, reluctant, and ultimately alone in her mission.
But when her best friend is found dead in what the police call suicide, she knows better. The investigation draws her into a world of decades-old grudges and fragmented histories - and at the heart of it, a lone vampire who may be the killer, the key, or something altogether more dangerous.
As allegiances shift and more victims emerge, Erin must navigate a landscape where immortals play long games with mortal lives, each death chosen to send a message she doesn't yet understand.
Dalton's restrained, precise prose paints emotional realism and uncertainty with every stroke of the pen, in a story that's unflinchingly honest about desire and complicity.
Psychologically merciless, gorgeously restrained yet atmospherically rendered... a vampire novel that trusts you to sit in the dark alongside the creatures it examines.
The Gloaming is the first book in the Blood of the Revenants series.
