He’s ready to party, but when this spooky fellow loses his favorite piece of clothing, can he track it down before the sun comes up?
Vamp the Vampire loves to boogie. So when he flies off to find a snack, he’s irresistibly drawn by the sound of funky music that makes him move. But after he works up a sweat and takes off his dazzling coat to cool down, he’s heartbroken when his beloved cape vanishes.
Super sad that his most famous fashion accessory has disappeared, Vamp spins in circles trying to discover where it could have gone. But the harder he looks, the more hopeless his search seems.
Can the fanged disco dancer find his fabulous cloak or is it lost in the night?
The Vampire’s Missing Cape is the delightful first volume in The Vampire’s Adventures children’s picture book series. If you or your child like hilarious mysteries, catchy rhymes, and scary surprises, then you’ll cackle at Steve Stables’ fantastic fable.

This is such a cute kid-friendly Halloween story! The illustrations go along well with the story, and are sure to delight kids and parents alike. The story rhymes, and is easy to read. It would be a great book to read on Halloween night (or eve) or any night in October. There’s also a fun counting game you can play in the book. Definitely recommend for kids who love Halloween and fun stories!
Steve was born in a small town in the Northwest of England, where you had to have a good sense of humour, as the weather is truly terrible. He now lives in a beautiful small coastal town in New Zealand (Where the weather is a lot warmer and drier).
Steve has always had a passion for writing books, and his Northern England dry humour always made people laugh or cringe. He has produced his first Children’s illustrated book which is called “The Vampire’s Missing Cape,” together with a second “Is My Brother a Zombie?”
