A Bloody Habit by Eleanor Bourg Nicholson
$18.95
It
is 1900, the dawn of a new century. Even as the old Queen's health
fails, Victorian Britain stands monumental and strong upon a mountain
of technological, scientific, and intellectual progress. For John
Kemp, a straight-forward, unimaginative London lawyer, life seems
reassuringly predictable yet forward-leaning, that is, until a foray
into the recently published sensationalist novel Dracula, united with
a chance meeting with an eccentric Dominican friar, catapults him
into a bizarre, violent, and unsettling series of events.
As London is transfixed with terror at a bloody trail of murder and destruction, Kemp finds himself in its midst, besieged on all sides―in his friendships, as those close to him fall prey to vicious assault by an unknown assassin; in his deep attraction to an unconventional American heiress; and in his own professional respectability, for who can trust a lawyer who sees things which, by all sane reason, cannot exist? Can his mundane, sensible life―and his skeptical mind―withstand vampires? Can this everyday Englishman survive his encounter with perhaps an even more sinister threat―the white-robed Papists who claim to be vampire slayers?
