I echo the others in the comments. What a great story! This is such an unexpected twist to the classic vampire tale: a principled hero who gives the gift of a swift, painless death.
I love a new twist on a classic story. A vampire with a conscience and it sound like he's still there since he's lived from the wreck of the Demeter to the bleep of monitors.
Posy the Dracula/Whitby connection is facinating, thanks for sharing! My debut and its series are set in Robin Hood's Bay, but my next series is set in nearby Whitby!
Oh absolutely will do, thank you! I've got the prequel novella that I need to work on slated for Fall 2026 release for a collab series, so I'll be getting into drafting that after finishing the draft of the prequel novella for my current series, also a Fall 2026 release for a collab anthology.
Wow! I love vampire stories and that was gorgeous! Reminded me a bit of Interview with a vampire. Plus, I love your mentioning of Varna. My sister lives there and it’s definitely an ancient place…and full of secrets.🙂
Nice! I thought I knew where this was going, but I did not. 🙌
A fine compliment! I’m glad I could surprise you Pete

Oh WOW! Love this take on the story!
Thanks for that ringing endorsement JK
