Whitechapel Road Author Wayne Mallows

Wayne began telling the tale of Aremis sometime in 1992 when he needed to create a believable vampire character for a business called Scream Works, a haunted house complete with grounds, for Halloween. This was very successful and he quickly expanded into a web based business called Scary Man Productions.

Over the following ten years Wayne was able to polish this character into such a believable creation that he thought he would write a book based on his life and how he came into being.

Wayne has been working on this project for the last 3+ years. He not only wrote the fiction that he had created, but he had also researched the murders committed by Jack the Ripper so that he would be able to effectively build the fiction around the facts. He have spent dozens of hours over several months going over police reports, autopsies, vintage maps, routes taken by the constables on duty those nights and read the over 200 letters alleged to have been written by the serial killer. There was, and still is, much controversy over the case and the handling of it, and Wayne found much of the evidence could easily point the finger of guilt towards a mentally unstable female and not that of a man. It wasn't a far stretch for him to then have that person be a vampire.

Wayne has also been involved in special effects make-up both for theatre & film, his speciality being that of graphic looking wounds. He was also brought in to consult on a film, Blood Bank, a short film created for the California Film Festival in 2002. I worked with the writer and producer to create realistic vampire bites.

Wayne always had a fondness for vampires & a love of history & combining the two has allowed him to tell a story about one of the most famous, and yet unknown, vampires in history.
