Synopsis

In this witty and charming novella Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, investigates the mysterious appearance of a newly turned child vampire.  Relaxing at her partner’s ancestral estate, work is the last thing on Dr. Greta Helsing’s mind. But before she’s had the chance to kick up her feet, a wight appears on their doorstep carrying a newly turned child. Turning a young adult is a grave transgression; to do it to an eleven-year-old is nearly unheard of. Who could possibly commit such a sin, and why would they abandon her? Dr. Helsing and her vampiric friends will travel across the United Kingdom and to Hell and back to find the answer.

This was the best feel-good horror I’ve ever read! Not to take anything away from the above statement, but I must admit that I don’t read much of that genre, I don’t even know if it’s very common. I’m afraid I haven’t read the classic vampire literature, which would have been useful when reading thi......more

I unintentionally jumped into a mid-series novella and yet it was easy to immerse myself in the world, curious about what I missed but not entirely at a loss. I look forward to getting into the rest......more
