Holidays in the coastal village of Rocky Head should mean surfing, dodging tourists and partying at the local music festival. But when Jamie Mackie is savagely bitten in the surf by a friend, he realises things are going to be different this summer. The Mutineers are in town, a coven of brutal vampires created in the shipwreck of the Batavia , four hundred years ago. If their plans succeed, nobody in Rocky Head will survive to see out the new year. Saltwater Vampires is a thrilling mix of surfing, the supernatural and Australian maritime history. Shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards. First published by Penguin Books Australia in 2010. This reprint has been revised by the author.
