Well now, here we are knee deep in autumn (at least where I
live) and what a better way to spend it than curled up in a corner with a good
vampire novel. This one's aimed at YA, and we're stoked about that because we
have a lot of YA viewers here at Supernatural Central.
Today we have AT THE END OF CHURCH STREET by Gregory L. Hall
to share our page with. Gregory has a pretty chilling cover waiting for us.
Here it is:
Homeless and with nowhere to turn, Rebecca De Rosa finds a
family of lost souls just like her—the vampires of Orlando. Reborn, she revels
in her new lifestyle of 'no rules'. Love whoever you want. Seek whatever high
you wish. Live forever young. Every night's an adventure—hunting down tourists,
challenging local police, screaming to the world vampires really do exist! It's
Neverland and every dream Rebecca has comes true.
Until the first murder.
Someone else lurks in the shadows. Goths are found beheaded,
with wooden stakes pounded into their chests. The hunters have become the
hunted. As the bodies pile up, Rebecca and the Family are forced to ask who can
you trust when the only person who believes you're an actual vampire is a
vampire killer?
We had a chance to talk with Gregory, and he had some amusing things to tell us:SC: Tell me a little bit about your main character of this book.
GLH: At the End of Church Street is actually about two
characters, Adam and Lilith. He’s the leader of a ‘family’ of runaway Goth kids
who live in a vampire Neverland in Orlando. And Lilith is a homeless girl who
reinvents herself to join them. They’re both damaged goods with tortured pasts.
As they grow closer, their paradise unravels when the kids are murdered one by
one by a hunter who believes they are real vampires. Adam does his best to
protect the Family, especially Lilith, but nothing is as it seems.
SC: Supernatural Central is a big fan of Goths, so we're
rooting for them. Do you believe in the
paranormal and if so, do you have an experience you can share?
GLH: I do believe in spooks! So many great Scooby Doo-level
experiences but my favorite is I was alone in the house and found the toilet
paper put in the wrong way, with it rolling back instead of looping over the
front. I said this is no 3rd world nation and fixed it. When I came back later,
it was flipped again. This happened not once but two more times!
A paranormal researcher I knew said it wasn’t ghosts. They
don’t have that kind of power. It was demons. He said I had Satan in my
crapper! I asked if I should fill the bowl with holy water and keep flushing
but my bud was serious. So to this day, pure evil remains in my toilet. I send
my sons in there all the time. Not even the Prince of Darkness can endure what
teenage boys do to a bathroom.
SC:. (Laughing) That's hilarious. I don't know if it's a
demon, but some houses have very intense opinions on which way the TP flows, I
have found. But I digress…what titles are you working on now that you can tell
us about?
GHL: I wrote a novel a couple years ago using my favorite
character, Johnny Midnight. He’s a selfish ‘hero’ who is known as the Elvis of
the paranormal world. He’s more interested in ratings and movie star girlfriends
than actually driving spirits and monsters away. Yet somehow he always does the
right thing. I’m working on two more books in the series and giggling with
every chapter. I also just finished a screenplay putting a Young Frankenstein
twist on Halloween. I love combining comedy and horror, so fingers crossed.
We really enjoyed spending time with you today, Gregory. Feel free to
drop us a line at Supernatural Central when you have more things to share.
