The Antiquarian
The pages of this diary belonged to a young British archeologist, Nicholas Ainsworth, known for his odd curiosity for the morbid and macabre. His expedition for deviant burials and historical artifacts in the Transylvanian Alps abruptly ruined with the approaching Nazi occupation, he seeks refuge in a mysterious old castle. As he settles into the abandoned gothic ruins, strange phenomena cause him to question his sanity...and if he is truly alone.
The Chimera
Smarra, a vampire turned from their intersex human form during the Inquisition, is in NewOrleans to feed under cover of an expected yellow fever epidemic. What they don’t expect is to fall in love with a Voodoo Queen…
The Chimera is a poetic mash-up of vampires, zombies, incest, slavery, voodoo, and Greek mythology, all while taking its cues from Pushkin’s Onegin. The Chimera and Other Dark Poems is a defiantly formal and surprisingly intellectual collection of gothic poetry that explores the patriarchal values that underlie the concept of monstrosity in Western art.
Rising Sun Over the Devil's Nest
The Van Helsings Have A Past
Abraham Van Helsing is part of a proud lineage of vampire slayers who share the same name. Ever since his grandfather left Germany for the small town of Sweet Providence, Texas, their family has been on the run from the very vampire who made their name synonymous with monsters.
But Abraham wants to leave that life behind. After years of near-death encounters and running from his past, he is ready to retire and let the Helsings die with him.
However, the dead do not like to rest. And this time when Dracula finds him, it is to ask for his help. A nest of vampires have made Cyclone saloon bar their home on the ancient bloodsucker’s territory, and he calls upon the best hunter he knows to wipe them out.
What ensues is a terrifically gory, gooey romp wherein Abraham reckons both with his past and his relationship with the vampire, whose true intentions remain eclipsed by his charm and bravado.
The Sentimental Dead
In a world left in ruins and chaos from an apocalyptic war, humans and vampires are forced to coexist in a scattered wasteland. Trust is a rare commodity—and so is blood. In the midst of this is Emile Thorne, a turned vampire who never asked to be. Angry and bitter over the death of his family and a transformation he cannot remember, he, along with his companions and best friend Ash, hunt monsters and rogues in an attempt to bring peace to their dystopian society.
But monsters aren't the only thing that threatens Emile’s vampiric existence. Tumultuous change forces him to reevaluate his life and confront a darkness that lingers in the recesses of his soul. Lost fragments of his past begin to surface as he struggles with the age-old questions: Are we born monsters? Or, do we become them?
Late Night Testament
Deep in a Virginia holler, the devil runs the cursed town of Withering. There are silver mines and streams of healing water, yet its desperate residents are kept sick and poor. It could have been a town for miracles, but the heavy heel of the greedy Crain family stands too firmly on its neck.
Sunday Wyatt is running from his debts. He spends his nights working at a bar trying to save up enough money to start a new life anywhere else. It seems like divine intervention when his creditor, the youngest Crain, turns up at the bar with a vampire on his heels. This vampire has a chip on his shoulder and a harrowing proposal: if Sunday is willing to honor his 'commandments' without question, they can both have their revenge.
Greed, desire, and betrayal have left them starved, and blood is all there is left to consume.
These Bleak Atrocities
Prentiss wants to grieve his father’s death in peace. Instead, he becomes entangled in the snare of a vampire--a trap that was baited and set long before he was born. The vampire pursuing him is Newland Straffon, a former doctor who found a cure for his own paralysis after achieving immortality. Over the course of one harrowing evening, Prentiss uncovers the truth about his father’s past, and about his own cursed lineage. The games that Newland plays are theatrical and bloody, but in the end, there is no winner--just one atrocity committed after another.
Hawthorne
SILAS HOLLOW IS A POET.
His work isn’t worth much to the elite of Graueyette, such that he has resigned himself to peddling his poems for scraps to earn his living. However, on the heels of defeat arrives a new beginning. A tantalizing offer from a wealthy, mysterious patron promises to change his life.
NICHOLAS SIDOROV IS A DOCTOR.
He is widely renowned as a miracle worker with more gold at his fingertips than even the royal treasury can hold. He claims to be entranced by Silas’ words and invites him to stay at Hawthorne as the artist-in-residence. Yet, Nicholas is not what he seems. He remains curiously absent throughout the day, while his lavish home is infested with phantoms as red as the berries of his flowering trees.
Through the doors of Hawthorne Manor, Silas will find himself trapped in the winding halls of a blood-soaked, brightly-lit nightmare set in the world of the Draonir Saga.
