A totally fictional and completely unhistorical account of the origins of Newcastle's mysterious grotesque, known as the Vampire Rabbit. Written as an original poem and fully illustrated by the author, Michael Quinlyn-Nixon, the story of the quirky Vampire Rabbit is brought 'alive' in the year of 1899, with the story concluding in the present day. Set in Victorian Tyne and Wear, the story illustrates the Vampire Rabbit's unquenchable bloodlust and the consequences of its villainous actions.

Suitable for older children (with parental guidance), the book can be equally enjoyed by adults who enjoy dark poems with a drop of humour.
