Books like The Radleys by Matt Haig
On a leafy street in Bishopthorpe, the Radley family appears ordinary: a doctor, a book‑club wife, and their teenage children. But the parents keep a life‑changing secret: they are vampires. When Clara’s sudden violent act forces the truth into the light, Peter and Helen face the challenge of explaining their children’s sun‑sensitivity, aversion to garlic, and the health risks of a vegan diet. Meanwhile, the police rise as a new threat emerges, and the arrival of a smooth‑talking vampire uncle unravels deeper family history. The story blends humor, family dynamics, and supernatural elements as the Radleys navigate reconciling their ordinary life with the bizarre reality of being abstaining vampires.
