Description
Review by James Gormley - Horrorworld.org:
“The Brides, “ looking back from a steamy modern world of pole-dancing fanged strippers and latter-day vampire princes, McCracken serves up a new twist on the Dracula mythos, linking a regicidal Vlad Tepes III, ambitious sisters and alchemical experimentation to explain the origins of vampirism in a wholly new light. Weaving in a Resident Evil’s Alice-esque vampire-fighting agent from Scotland Yard, Clair Stoker (yes, a descendant of Bram), a non-nonsense homicide detective and a sadistic veterinarian, McCracken moves the action forward effectively, with an ending that might well serve (total speculation here) as the launch pad of a series of vampire novels.
(Originally published as a novella in the I EAT BUTTERFLIES anthology by Raven c.s. McCracken.)
