Vampire And The Frenchman: Ghosts Of Pinkerton

by Andy DeJong

Overview

Book 1 of the Ghosts Of Pinkerton series.

An imaginative book set in the old west with heavy elements of paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. The characters sometimes use modern day slang, but for reasons of time not being what it seems. This won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it might just be yours. Give it a read and follow the genre-mashing supernatural adventure!

Welcome to an alternative 1880s influenced by outside forces of light and dark—and different eras. It differs from our own in subtle, and not so subtle, ways. If you like your stories strange, a bit campy, and full of historical inaccuracies, then this is your type of book.

Jasper Longley was a broken man before Allan Pinkerton pulled him off the train tracks and gave him a purpose.

Cole Owens drank his skeletons away. He was aimless until he stumbled into Jasper.

The wild west in the 1880's was a time of revolution, progress, lawlessness, and ... monsters. While average Pinkerton agents were tasked with tracking bandits and keeping order, agents Jasper Longley and Cole Owens fought to keep the world from plunging into chaos. Their mission was to keep tabs on the supernatural beings wreaking havoc on the citizens of the western frontier—and apprehend candy-stealing goblins.

After a routine vampire hunt, Jasper and Cole discover a peculiar relic that sends them on a grueling quest to stop a mysterious force: The Chaos Demon. Few have encountered this demon and lived to tell the tale. Jasper is one of the few and he is hell-bent on ending this demon's reign of terror.

Along the way, they uncover a few hidden demons of their own making.

A Frenchman and a lone vampire play much bigger roles than previously imagined. Nothing on the surface is quite what it seems—not when darkness consumes all things.

Book 2 - Sea Of Untold Stories is available now!

About the Author

Andy DeJong is the author of the 'Ghosts of Pinkerton' series and 'A Wintervale Tale' series.

Growing up in the heavily populated state of South Dakota could explain my slight weirdness. I enjoy stories and shows dealing in fantasy and the supernatural. I draw inspiration for writing from shows such as Supernatural and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Anything dealing with ghosts and monsters that has a dash of violence, a helping of humor, and a whole lot of fun is up my alley. A good conspiracy theory gets me intrigued as well. And don't mention superheroes or RPGS around me, I will talk all day on those subjects.

I would describe my writing style as more in line with movies or shows. I write primarily to entertain the reader. My prose isn't flowery or long-winded, and I don't use overly large words to try to impress. I let my characters take center stage. There are a plethora of books available that teach valuable life lessons or have a deep moral view that the author wants to instill in the reader. I want you to read my books for escapism. There are enough serious burdens and horribleness in the world already, and if you are looking to escape from it all and not think about it for a few hours, then my books are meant for you.

If you do discover a valuable life lesson or deep philosophical meaning in my books, I likely did it on accident ... or did I? You'll just have to read and decide for yourself!

Andy currently resides in South Dakota with his wife and children.
