Show notes

Today we'd like to introduce you to another great show from the Fable & Folly Network - Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective

That title was enough to grab me on its own, but in case you need more, here's what it's about.

From their base at Solomon College, Oxford, Jack Valentine and her colleagues are tasked with keeping the existence of vampires secret from humanity. Mostly they hunt those of their number who’ve got carried away while blood-drinking and killed a human by accident, but occasionally they encounter the most dangerous kind of predator: a vampire serial killer.

Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective is an LGBTQIA+-led comedy drama that mashes vampires and police procedural together into a fast-paced, sometimes gritty, sometimes romantic, and darkly funny mix.

This isn't the first Jack Valentine story - the series' creator Josie Jaffrey has written 7 books starring this character. The podcast is a prequel, so you don't need to have read the books to enjoy it, but this is a seriously fleshed out world with a whole load of lore and stories to get lost in. 

You can find all the info here, and you can subscribe to the podcast in all the usual places

Once you've listened to this, the second episode is coming out on June 19th, so head over and subscribe to Jack Valentine Vampired Detective to keep listening.

And now, here's episode 1 - Dead Man's Hand.
