Illustrations by Ken Hunt and a foreword by NY Times Bestseller, Jonathan Mayberry!

We take the entire cast of Dracula and Gender Swapped the cast, Its the classic story with new twists and turns. This is a prose novel. Very akin to Bernie Wrightson Frankenstein with 24 black and white illustrations by Ken Hunt.

Christopher Denmead has both updated and gender-swapped Bram Stoker’s life-impaired Transylvania nobleman. Vlad is now Countess Vlada Dracula, and she is now pitted against a female Harker and -of course – a new take on Van Helsing. It’s both a re-telling of the story and an original take, bringing freshness and a dark sense of fun to a story we only think we know by heart.

It’s a quick read -pause through to drink in the wonderful artwork-and a thoroughly entertaining one. Scary and smart, fast and very furious. It is -pun entirely intended – something to really sink your teeth into. Turn the page. Take the bite. Jonathan Mayberry, NY Times Bestselling author of V-Wars, Ink, & Rot & Ruin

The Review

What a unique and compelling read! The author does a remarkable job of revealing the experiences and inner workings of the comic book shops of New England. The focus on each comic book owner’s way of running their stores and their approaches to both the business side of things and their passion for the industry made this book flow smoothly.

The heart of this book was in the passion for comic books that each owner shared and how they came to be in the comic book business as a whole. The love for these stories of horror, fantasy, nd science fiction and the different ways comics were bought over the decades was remarkable to witness across the pages of this book. The way some owners embrace new comics and the popularity of modern pop culture merchandise in their stores versus those who appreciate the classics and iconic comic books in general was so passionately written and insightful into this industry.
