Albert Einstein once said - Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. It also allows us to think outside the box and escape the confines of our world.
Glenn is a native of Chicago who grew up watching Dark Shadows. It is with Barnabas Collins his passion for vampire stories first hatched. The more romantic and erotic vampire stories like Dracula and the many films by Hammer nurtured that passion.
Vampires - such seductive, intelligent, powerful and attractive creatures with particular needs and weaknesses - perfect characters in any novel, especially around Halloween, Glenn's favorite time of the year.
To fill his need for more seduction, suspense, romance, sex, realism, and especially more bite scenes, Glenn set out to write his own flavor of vampire stories. Some of his tasty treats can be found on Amazon in eBook, paperback and audio-book formats. If you're like Glenn, maybe you too are searching for something more in vampire stories. If you are, please take a look at what Glenn has written so far. Hope you enjoy what you find!
Thank you.

The Black Widow by Glenn Stevens is a short paranormal tale. It’s Halloween and the parties are in full swing in Rush Street in Chicago. Detective John Russell and his partner Amy have been sent to the Metromix nightclub to investigate the body of a naked woman, covered in puncture wounds. Even stranger, she has no blood left in her. As the night wears on a string of similar calls come in, bodies completely drained of blood. John Russell is starting to see the similarities between these murders and a string of similar murders from another Halloween night five years earlier. John saw the murderer that night and he fears she is back. The only problem is, she isn’t human. Can the police stop her before more lives are lost?
The Black Widow by Glenn Stevens was a neat read, perfect for Halloween! It is short and to the point yet with plenty of detail and a good plot. Beware, there is a twist to the end of this one, and you might not see it coming. As short stories go, this is one of the better ones. Glenn draws you into his story with the detail, hooking you from the first page and making you want to read this to the very end in one go. The characters were likable, not easy to do in such a short space, and developed well throughout the tale. Ideal for fans of the paranormal/vampire genre, it isn’t too descriptive making it limited to adults only; young adults would probably enjoy it too.
