Winston the Third is a six hundred year old vampire who cannot bite properly. His fangs are blunt, his four shimmering wings refuse to fly, and he lives in a Camden basement surviving on stolen hospital bags and bad decisions. Predators are meant to be sleek and frightening. Winston looks like a tired bouncer someone glued an art project onto.
When a man turns up dead in an alley with perfect bite marks Winston can only dream of making and a trace of his own pale blue wing dust on the body, his carefully managed unlife falls apart. A fae style court made of clerks, collectors, and a very literal Hollow Crown is coming to collect the third son of a cursed family, and it has already written his name and an ordinary human woman named Lola on the invoice.
Dragged through vampire support groups, secret night dentistry, disastrous train journeys, and a northern sanctuary run by his very not dead mother, Winston has to untangle centuries of family lies before someone forces him to use the one thing he has never had. A real bite. For readers who love comic urban fantasy with sharp British humour, supernatural bureaucracy, found family, and real emotional stakes, Winston the Third delivers a fast, sweary, heartfelt ride through modern occult London.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Six hundred years old. Blunt fangs. Four shimmering fairy wings. Predator is a generous word. A wolf is a predator. A shark is a predator. Winston the Third once followed a woman through Soho for twenty minutes, became worried that she thought he was following her, overtook her to make the situation less threatening, and got lost. Living in a basement beneath a Camden tattoo studio, Winston survives on medical-waste blood bags supplied by an off-the-books cleaner. He looks thirty-five-a tired, divorced-at-thirty-five-and his "fangs" leave tiny white dents that disappear before he finishes apologizing. To make matters worse, four pale-blue dragonfly wings flutter from his spine whenever he's hungry, embarrassed, or annoyed. When his blood supplier suddenly vanishes, hunger drives Winston onto the damp streets of London. His attempt to hunt leads to a humiliating encounter with Lola-a sharp-tongued night-shelter worker who asks if his teeth are "in yet." But when a fresh corpse appears in a Camden alley bearing flawless bite marks, wing dust, and a centuries-old family crest, Winston realizes someone is framing him. Dragged into a web of supernatural bureaucracy, ancient family curses, and a brother who was supposed to be ash, Winston must navigate the terrifying Small Court-all while trying not to accidentally assign a living route through the one woman willing to stand beside him. Perfect for fans of Rivers of London, Good Omens, and cynical British urban fantasy comedy. This item is printed on demand.
