In his classic 'Dracula', Bram Stoker, with a few cryptic entries in an unnamed captain's journal, offered hints of the voyage that brought the vampire king from his homeland to a blood-rich London. Now, the whole mind-rending tale is told. July, 1897. The Demeter sets sail from Varna, carrying fifty oblong boxes filled with earth. A month later in the middle of a raging storm, the derelict schooner runs aground in Whitby. The only living thing aboard is a huge dog that vanishes into the night. Join Doug Lamoreux, author of The Devil's Bed, for rousing sea adventure, for romance, and for terror. Come aboard Dracula's Demeter. "A fiendishly clever and welcome addition to the Dracula mythology." -Aaron Christensen, Fangoria Magazine- Dracula's Demeter is a 2012 Lord Ruthven award nominee and a two-time Amazon bestseller in Vampire Horror.

Fanfiction has gotten a bad rap as a lot of it is badly written garage. But not this book. If you love Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, you will not be disappointed. I was impressed by how well-written the story was, the research involved, and the professional editing and proofreading. Rare commodities in Indie books or small presses. I did feel there was a tad bit too much background and detail. I found myself nodding off a few times with all the nautical terms.
As for the characters, there was a wide range of them, from different backgrounds, that happened to be on that ill-fated trip. It was confusing at first about who was who. Especially when being referred to by their positrons on the crew, such as first or second. But as one by one, they met their horrific fates, I felt for each one of them. And horrific they were. Yes, he threw in spiders. ECK! You can’t help but fell sorry for Harrington, Swales, and Ekaterina. They were just pawns in Dracula’s game. Speaking of pawns, Jonathan Harker, Lucy, Mina, and Renshaw were woven seamlessly into the storyline, anchoring this tale firmly into the legend of Dracula.
If you love reading literary masterpieces written in the vein of true Gothic horror, you really need to buy this book. I give it 4 fangs. ( )
