Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Edwin Stark was born in Caracas, Venezuela. That's South America for the few geographically-challenged ones out there. Supposedly the stork had just stumbled out from a pub while it was delivering him, (it was confused to say the least) and mishandled his humble persona, leaving him stranded in this unlikely place.

Having German ancestry, he spoke that language as a toddler, but his Mom had the strange misconception that he'd fit better there if he spoke Spanish, a mistake he tried to correct immediately by learning English.

So far, he has written several books: AI Rebellion, Eco Station One, a very bizarre and funny satire, Cuentos (a short story collection), The Clayton Chronicles, Xaman and The Karaoke Duo Series. All these are available for the Kindle reader on Amazon, some in paperbacks and various other e-book formats in Smashwords.

He's married to romance author Simone Beaudelaire.

"The characters of 'Cuentos' display believable characteristics that gently lead the reader along a path to gradually but willingly leave reality at the door. Before long, readers become part of the action -- whether it is in the darkening sewers of Nosfort, Massachusetts or beneath a bulbous fruit tree in a different reality -- and cannot put down the book."

Fast-paced yet elegant!

Bram Stoker's, Dracula was the only vampire novel I have read until The Clayton Chronicles. I'm so happy I took a chance on Mr. Stark's book. In many ways it read like an old, classic movie. And I love old movies! I was instantly engrossed in the story lines. Yes, with this publication you get TWO novellas for the price of one! The writing was fast-paced yet elegant. I really enjoyed the quirky, snappy dialogue. I love any book where the plot is woven with humor. Clayton Harris and Sherwin Williams made a fabulous team. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Two complete vampire novellas in one package including "The Wandering Blood" and "Blood Mall" which do a fine job in the classic 'vein.' Plenty of suspense throughout and likable characters as well including a town sheriff having a fixation with occult books/comics, a comedic vampire/hunter of rogue vamps from the High Council, a coroner that has 'seen the light' (or should I say 'bite') and a psychic priest that doesn't need to be told twice that something evil is afoot in the town of Nosfort. Quick, enjoyable horror reads that lead me to wonder if the foursome won't be back for more chilling adventures in the near future (I hope so!) Very good reads!

Small-town cop meets big, bad vampire. It works!

A vampire called Sherwin Williams? It works! I enjoyed this book very much. You seldom get a new twist on the Vampire Genre these days, but Mr. Stark has done it. I loved the small-town cop-meets big, bad vampire. They work together to thwart the evil that's come to town and it works.

Who you gonna call? Sherwin Williams, of course!

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2011

Edwin has woven two twisted tales of rogue vampires trying to make a hive in the small northeastern town of Nosforts, Massachusetts. The first story starts when a young boy playing alone in the woods, poking dead animals with a pointy stick, comes across a dead mans body. He reports this to the town sheriff Clayton Harris. Sheriff Harris must employ the help of Sherwin Williams, a new stranger in town who happens to be from the Vampiric High Council, to save his town. In the second story young girls start disappearing; this is not a story for the faint of heart. Clayton Harris has to ask for help from his now vampire friend, Sherwin Williams, again. Edwin has woven 2 very unique tales full of horror and suspense.

Edwin lives in Venezuela, and English is not his native language, he has done a pretty good job setting this story in the small town of Nosforts, Massachusetts. With the horror story aside, you definitely get that small hometown feel. Despite the editing issues (which the author is aware of and is working to remedy), Edwin has two very unique stories.

I read this book during a five hour Flight. Normally two hours is enough to get me batty but this book kept me entertained. I hope we get to read more about the sheriff and the vampire.

This was one of the nicest vampire stories I have ever read.
Definitely written with a sense of humor and a good slice of gore. All written with I can't stop reading now, must find out what happens next. Just what a little old lady with a warped sense of humor needed. Suitable for all ages in my humble opinion. Thank you, thank you. You have made me smile.

This was a really good story with some slightly quirky characters that I really liked. I would like there to be more stories about these folks. I particularly like the sheriff and the vampire Sherwin Williams.

Deeper Story Than Just vampires

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015

My best friend gifted me this book and I wasn't sure what to expect when I started to read it. Right off the bat, I can say I loved the use of language. I felt the author used insightful words that helped to bring his tale to life for me in a deeper fashion. His choice of verbiage was in and of itself quite descriptive, adding to the overall feel and quality of the story for me. This was beautifully written and I liked the pace and style in which the author unfolded the narrative. I was floored learning that the author is not a native English speaker!
The characters were fascinating. I really enjoyed Sherwin and I loved the friendship between Sherwin & Clayton. The depiction of the anal retentive coroner made me giggle and added to the chemistry of the protagonists. Some of the characters were dark and devious, but it fit the plot perfectly, making an accurate portrayal of evil and horror.
I found I was fascinated by the authors version of vampires, but more so, of his descriptions of believers. His was a new take on things for me and one that added to the overall story. It made the characters more real and the added a new layer to the throng of vampire lore out there - faith! The introduction of the priest lent more intrigue and complexity. Very well done!
I definitely recommend this book. If you are into vampires, the battles between good & bad, horror, crime, or just good drama then this is a book you must read!
