  • 10 Years in the Dark: Theater of the Vampires with H.F. Galloway

    What would you do if you spent ten years working alone at night in a massive, aging 1929 theater? If you’re H.F. Galloway, you eventually write a book about vampires taking it over. In this episode, Herbie—a former Air Force fire protection specialist turned maintenance man—shares how an unexpected "vision" of something moving under a tarp led him to write Theater of the Vampires. He discusses turning his nightly routine into a creative outlet, dealing with the realities of working in a spooky old building, and why he chose to portray vampires not as romantic heroes, but as monsters that need to be stopped.

    No gatekeeping here. We’re breaking down what turned a "maybe someday" book into a "published right now" reality. It’s the perfect shot of inspiration to start your writing day.
