Pathologists, Detectives and Drag Queens... Oh, my!
Dead Serious is the linchpin of Vawn’s paranormal world. Although there are other entry points into the Crawshanks Universe, this is where it all began.
Hilariously funny and gorgeously touching, it’ll make you laugh, cry and swoon in equal measure. With drag queen besties, ghosts galore, one very out of his depth Grim Reaper and a found family to die for, this is an MM series you’ll want to read over, and over again.
Not all witches are born in Salem...
The Guardians series was written under Vawn’s previous pen name Wendy Saunders and is now part of the Crawshanks universe. Connected directly to several Vawn Cassidy series it is a predominantly MF Urban Fantasy.
Telling the story of 21st century witch Olivia West, who you might recognise from Dead Serious Case 5. This series is a thrilling ride through time and magic, following her rise as a powerful Guardian.
The first book in this series is completely free to download.
The Little Shop books can be read as a standalone series, but not only is directly connected to Dead Serious but runs in tandem with both stories are told simultaneously.
Whereas Dead Serious focuses more on ghosts and mediums, Little Shop is filled with witchcraft and the supernatural.
A slightly darker but no less amusing series will take you from present day back into Victorian London and the incredible legacy the main character Harrison was born into.
Together Sam & Harrison must learn to navigate their complex relationship while thrust into a world of gods, supernatural creatures and witches.
Death and Chan began as side characters in Dead Serious, not even side characters. Both of them were meant to be one-off cameo’s. They, however had other ideas.
The pair of them together spawned the Vawn Cassidy Official Store exclusive mini trilogy, The Grim Adventures of Death & Chan.
It has become such a fan favourite that it is now returning in a brand new exclusive mini trilogy, Death & Chan Happily Ever Afterlife.
So, if you’re curious what a relationship between a drag queen and the supernatural entity, known as Death, looks like, this hilarious spin-off is for you!
Welcome to the Ashton-Drake Manor House Hotel
Have a frightfully good stay!
This is was another spin-off from Dead Serious but can be read as a standalone series.
Come for a stay at the most haunted hotel in Yorkshire and meet the sunshiny receptionist Ellis, the grumpy silver fox grandson of the hotel owner and a whole host of badly behaved ghosts as they come up with harebrained schemes to save their beloved hotel.
This series is inspired by Victorian Penny Dreadful’s and classic Victorian horror such as Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, The Portrait of Dorian Grey, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and The Mummy.
This story follows a disinherited lord and a detective with Whitechapel's H division. From underground Molly Houses, to the upper echelon's of society, they attempt to unravel murders and supernatural crimes in pursuit of a mysterious place called The Underside, while trying to fight their feelings for each other in a society where homosexuality is punishable by public disgrace and prison.
BELONG TO ME
