Description

Skinheads vs. the Goth Vampires

by Nick Razer

For fans of Richard Allen, gritty British horror, and unapologetic underground fiction.

Clacton-on-Sea is supposed to be dead.

The tourists are gone.
The arcades are dark.
The pier creaks in the wind like it’s waiting to collapse.

But something else has woken up.

When a goth kid is found dead beneath the pier—drained of blood, puncture wounds clean as a punch press—the Clacton Bootboys know this isn’t just another seaside tragedy. This is something older. Meaner. Hungrier.

Then the tea shop appears.

Thornwood’s Tea and Sympathy looks harmless enough: lace curtains, Victorian décor, silver teapots. But it’s packed every night with pale, silent goth teenagers who move wrong, speak wrong, and stop going home. And the woman who runs it—Mrs. Thornwood—knows things she shouldn’t. Names. Bloodlines. History that should have stayed buried.

As kids start vanishing and the town looks the other way, the Bootboys realize the truth:
vampires are farming youth subcultures—and Clacton is next.

What follows is a brutal, darkly funny collision of working-class rage and ancient evil. Skinheads armed with fishing spears and bad ideas take on an immortal predator that’s been feeding along the British coast for centuries—always protected by respectability, apathy, and silence.

This is not romantic vampire fiction.
These vampires don’t brood. They consume.
They don’t sparkle. They recruit.
They don’t love. They erase.

Skinheads vs. the Goth Vampires is a blood-soaked, punk-fueled horror novel packed with savage humor, seaside decay, and real heart. It’s about loyalty, found family, and what happens when kids no one listens to are forced to defend their town themselves.

If you like your horror British, brutal, and unfiltered—
If you’re a fan of Richard Allen’s raw intensity and cult-edge storytelling—
If you want vampires that deserve what’s coming to them—

Welcome to Clacton-on-Sea.

The tea is poured.
The pier is rotting.
And the night is very, very hungry.
