IN THE PRESS
“
Otto Redman's first novel has really hit the mark. Written in such an easy, approachable style, it is a treat for all lovers of the vampire/horror genre. This book is a real page turner that makes you hungry for more.
Amazon Review
“
This is an imaginative and gripping novel which presents a model of vampires within the Jess Franco and Jean Rollin tradition. Fans of Hammer horror will likely be pleased that this takes a traditional approach rather than the neo-romantic view of vampires presented of late. A good read!

“
I liked this. The characters were good as was the pace.
Hellen is a professional woman with a good job who goes for an interview and decides to spend the day and night in London and meets Adam, a strange, good looking man, in a club. However, when she wakes up in a skip the next morning Hellen worries something untoward has happened. That is not the case but what HAS happened is far, far worse and Hellen will need all her strength and her help not only from her University friend, Ben, whom Hellen realises she has feelings for but also, Sophie, her life long best friend. This book is about 240 pages long and enjoyable if you like vampire stories.

BIO
Otto’s fascination with horror started from a young age with television series such as the Addam’s Family, the Munsters and the Twilight Zone. He sought out horror and gothic literature from authors including Mary Shelly, Bram Stoker, H P Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe and developed a love for the classic Hammer Horror and B-movies of the 1960s and 1970s. Otto revelled in the worlds created by Wes Craven, Jess Franco and Jean Rollin and the charismatic acting of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. During the COVID pandemic he made the decision to redirect his career into writing horror stories of his own centred around his hometown. His first novel The Vampire of Portsmouth was released in 2022 and having enjoyed the process, Otto decided that his next novel would be far longer and focus on witchcraft. Otto lives near Portsmouth in the South of England with his numerous cats. Sarah’s Cats is his second horror novel
