London Vamypre Group

The London Vampyre Group is a forum for anyone with an interest in all things Vampyric (books, films, clothing etc.) incorporating the Gothic(k) genre (music, lifestyle and literature)

The LVG organises various visits and functions with a vampyric/gothic theme, e.g.:- cemeteries, museums and exhibitions. Picnics, parties and holidays to Transylvania are regular features and each year many more events are organised to bring together those people who have an interest in all things vampyric.

Join Us! If you'd like to join the LVG, both online and printable forms can be found on our membership application page, or click the join button on the menu.

The LVG meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month at a variety of locations around central London.

Fire Of Heaven, Fire Of Hell

A New book LVGese may appreciate: Fire Of Heaven, Fire Of Hell by Darvell St-Irvyne. A powerful drama of the Shelleys and Byron and the origins of The Vampyre and Frankenstein, this new play explores the revolutionary ideas, sublime work and tempestuous lives of the characters. Focussing especially on Mary Shelley and Byron, the play is at once dark, witty, radical, erotic and poetic - an exhilarating gallop through Romanticism itself, the ultimate literary wild hunt.

-- 'My God, how far are you prepared to go?'
-- 'All the way! Further! To the limits! Beyond!'

A must for all lovers of Gothic, aficionados of new theatre and students of Romantic literature alike.

For more details about the play and how to buy copies (£7.50 (inc. p&p) in UK & Europe; £7.99 (inc. p&p) rest of world) see the Quincey Riddle website.
