| book description |

‘An exciting read’ Gyles Brandreth Can Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, solve vampiric crimes at his own theatre? London, September 1888. As Jack the Ripper roams the streets, a blood-curdling scream rings out from beneath the stage of the Lyceum Theatre. A young ‘actress’ has been attacked, suffering peculiar bite wounds to her neck; an event that announces a series of strange, vampiric happenings, and compels an unwitting Bram Stoker – acting manager of the Lyceum by day and aspiring author by any other means – to investigate. Increasingly perplexed by the unsettling behaviour of his ‘Guv’nor’, the brilliant but mercurial actor Henry Irving, and Irving’s acclaimed leading lady, Ellen Terry, Stoker soon starts to suspect the worst. And then, another attack reveals a vicious Prussian baron, returned to London as a vampire seeking revenge... Alive with Gothic intrigue, reversal and surprise, Mr Stoker will enthrall and confound until its final, shocking scene – indeed, until its very last word. ‘This is a fully realised Gothic world, a stimulating mix of homely familiarity and lurking menace which will engage readers of all ages’ David Punter, author of The Literature of Terror ‘Draws you in wonderfully… a cracking read’ Garry Scott, BBC Radio Lancashire ‘A wonderful book’ Rima Ahmed, BBC Radio Leeds ‘Highly inventive… with a hint of the fantastic… A very immersive read’ Neil Root, author of Frenzy! And The Murder Gang
