Set in the convention world of the fictional show Vampire Falls, this is a story that celebrates the inclusivity of conventions, the passion of fandoms and meeting friends for life.

Eliza and Charlie Chamberlain were best friends until he decided to abandon her and become the most popular (i.e. worst) guy in school. Now he can’t be within a five-meter radius of Eliza without taking the piss out of her Vampire Falls obsession. A TV show that he used to watch with her. Religiously.

But Eliza can rejoice in her happy place: the annual Vampire Falls convention where she and superfan bestie, Roxy, can enjoy a weekend of guest Q&As and cosplay, safe from the judgement of others who just don’t understand their passion.

Or that’s what she thinks, until guess-who shows up chaperoning his little sister. Not only that, but Eliza finds herself pitted against Charlie Chamberlain’s team in a once in a lifetime opportunity. Eliza and Roxy join forces with a feisty pensioner and a mysterious (possibly hot) guy in a werewolf costume to win the ultimate prize: an all-expenses paid trip to San Diego Comic Con.

But with the stress of uni looming and the past rearing its ugly head, Eliza finds her sanctuary crumbling at every scheduled panel and themed party. Will Charlie Chamberlain ruin the one weekend Eliza lives for, or is that bubbling feeling in the pit of her stomach not actually hatred after all?

Way, way more comfortable with fictional characters than real people, Georgia Bowers pledged her allegiance to Melvil Dewey (the Fairy Godfather of librarians) over twenty years ago so she could hang out with books exclusively. She once dragged a bewildered customer around the library showing him the poetry books, until he pointed out he’d asked for books on poultry. Equal to her passion for books is her love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Give her any episode description from season 1-4 and she’ll tell you the title and worst outfit worn (always Xander). Georgia co-hosts the Delete My Browser History podcast with TikTok famous author Cynthia Murphy where they chat with authors about warm and fuzzy research topics such as leeches, death by escalator, and taxidermy. A winner of the SCBWI Undiscovered Voices competition and the Slushpile Challenge, she’s written articles about Buffy and Stranger Things for Hodderscape, and daydreams of writing a vampire musical featuring Alanis Morissette.
