    About this ebook

    A thrilling black comedy about making the best of what little time we have left - with vampires! And genocide!

    A twisted tale about Feng Shui, vampires, drinking, pet psychiatry, genocide, belief and mortality. In this darkly comic, slow-burn fantasy thriller, nothing is as it seems. A nightclub opening becomes a fight for life and the discovered fountain of youth hides a movement to exterminate a race.

    Chasing the Sun’s twenty-something protagonist and narrator, Honda, is a disgruntled, cocaine-addicted con man posing as a Feng Shui expert. He’s also a vampire. His nightclub loving friends are also vampires, apart from a single mother, Rain. When Rain dies, Honda is the only one left to care for her young daughter Dip who brings him face to face with his mortality, and morality, as he tries to protect her.
